Developing and Implementing National eHealth Services for Patients – An Interactive Exploration of Challenges and Potential Solutions Isabella Scandurra, Informatics, School of Business, Örebro University, Sweden; Maria Hägglund, Health Informatics Centre, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden As a means to address current challenges for and demands on health and social care, e.g. quality of care and patient empowerment, information and communication technologies (ICT) are being used to supply citizens with various health services. One example is to give patients web access to their own electronic health records (EHRs). In this workshop, we will provide examples and experiences from ongoing work in Sweden to develop and implement eHealth services for citizens; SUSTAINS [1] and My Care Pathways [2].The workshop participants will be engaged in interactive discussions regarding challenges and potential solutions based on their experiences from different contexts. The aim of the workshop is twofold: 1. To explore challenges for developing and implementing e-health systems for citizens to access their patient information and other e-health services online. 2. To suggest strategies and activities that could provide potential solutions to the identified challenge. Workshop structure The disposition of the workshop is as follows: a 90 minute session, a 15 minutes break and another 75 minute session. The two sessions will contain both presentations from the workshop organizers and interactive discussions and work in smaller groups to engage all participants and share experiences from different contexts. This disposition requires active participants to generate new ideas and knowledge through discussions and reflections where all participants contribute with their knowledge and understanding of the problem. The topic is expected to engage a lot of people, maybe not only those present at the workshop or at the conference. The workshop organizers will encourage live tweeting during the sessions and invite followers.
