A voz dos Médicos:
- "We are too slow to adopt technological change,” said Kari Harno, CMO of the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa (HUS) in Finland. “The time lag between product development and its actual use is much shorter in the US".
- "Yet the pace of technological change needs to quicken in Europe, and the health IT industry could make a more concerted effort to listen to users’ needs before developing new products, according to some leading clinicians".
- "IT spending currently comprising some 2% of health budgets, up from 1% in 2000, and moving towards a 5% target by 2010 as set out in the Communication".
- "The Commission should develop “a stronger position on standards” and “could be introducing a more technical platform to connect institutions from different countries, instead of leaving this to national investment”.
- "Presently, more than 96% of general practitioners are online in Finland, up from 94% in 2002".
- "Even within institutions, it is always difficult to get the clinicians to adapt to the IT change – often there is no unanimous agreement on the main things that the professionals really want from the solutions".
- "It’s a fight to be heard,” she (Lisette Tiddens-Engwirda, the Secretary General of the Brussels-based Standing Committee of European Doctors) said. “We need to say ‘please develop what we need rather than what you tell us you’ve invented".
