Teleradiology in Europe

• Risk of mess in Europe in the field of
  telemedicine
• DG Information Society (DG INFSO) of the
  European Commission did a communication on
  Telemedicine to benefit to patient, Healthcare
  systems and Society at the end of October 2008.
• Analysis of the situation will be driven in 2009
  and a specific regulation should be proposed with
  the goal to have all member countries having
  evaluate and modify their own national
  legislation.
• The healthcare DG (DG SANCO) said that it is
  interested and wish to contribute. But, at this
  time, DG INFSO didn't invite any physician nor
  radiologist to join the team working on the
  subject.
• ESR will contact DG INFSO and DG SANCO to
  manifest it willingness to participate.
• Availability of standards and IHE profile(s) will
  probably help.
