Second national eHealth monitor measures status of eHealth in the Netherlands.
The eHealth monitor is a yearly survey conducted by Nictiz and NIVEL to measure eHealth adoption by patients and healthcare professionals in the Netherlands. The survey was conducted in 2014 for the second time. Patients are actively using the internet as a source of healthcare information. However, they are not very well aware of the online services that their doctors are offering, like e-consultation or e-appointments. Doctors in the Netherlands are doing well in international comparisons when it comes to the use of electronic healthcare records and healthcare information exchange. When introducing eHealth services, demonstrating added value for all parties involved is an important success factor. (aut. ref.)
