Quantifying Vascular Risk Screening: A
successful method of Telematic
Project
• Internet-based prevention method
to quantify vascular risks
• De-central examination, central and
quality controlled reporting by
experts
• Participant with higher risk can
subscribe in a Disease
Management Program
• Partner: University ErlangenNürnberg, Siemens Insurance Fund
and Siemens Medical Solutions

A promising project for disease management
with IT in Scotland
Disease Management Diabetes, Diabetic Retinopathy (DR)
Huge Potential
• Up to 10% of Europeans diabetic
• 60% of diabetics develop DR
• DR is leading cause of blindness
for individuals > 65 years of age
• Blindness can be avoided in 90%
of DR cases if detected early

The

eHealth
... the key enabler
15
What do we need to do to realize the potential?
 Patients / healthy individuals must be in focus
 Define which healthcare services should be
regulated and which aspects should be open
to competition (more competition)
 Define which healthcare services should be
publicly financed and which services should
be an individual’s responsibility (more
individual responsibility)
 Implement standardized quality metrics
 Performance needs to be recognized.
Healthcare must be attractive for the best and
brightest minds

is one of our most important
infrastructure components

Change of paradigm
Health is the lever for prosperity
The EU Commission concluded:
Good health is the basis for economic growth*
 Increase of 10% of life expectancy leeds to 0.35% of GDP growth
 50% of the growth differential between rich and poor countries
are due to bad health and lower life expectancy
People conclude:
Health is the most valuable asset
*Macroeconomics and health: investing in health for economic development,
Report on the Commission on Macro-economics and health,
Jeffrey D. Sachs, WHO, 20 December 2001
18
How to draw attention to this possibility?
1. Through contacts to and information of national health
authorities
2. Through a congress: “Improving Healthcare Infrastructure
in an Enlarged Europe”
• Organized by the “European Health Forum Gastein”
on October 04, 2005 in Bad Gastein, Austria
and at least two follow up congresses in 2006 and 2007
• Target Groups:

European Commission (showing the potential)

Health Authorities of new Member States
(proposing projects)
