Abstract
eHealth is still not widely used in primary care,
because barriers still exist around integrated and interoperable
technological infrastructures for eHealth. This paper describes
the design of an interoperable eHealth reference architecture for
primary care and its evaluation with experts. This reference
architecture aims to facilitate IT specialists in setting up
interoperable eHealth infrastructures within primary healthcare
organizations. The design of the reference architecture was based
on the results of 14 working sessions with 10 eHealth Small and
Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) and the theory behind the
Refined eHealth European Interoperability Framework (ReEIF).
The evaluation with experts revealed additional conditions that –
next to the reference architecture – are needed before
interoperable eHealth in primary care can actually be achieved.
