Abstract:
In national European sanitary systems, there is a substantial gap in terms of managing the patients based on their state of origin. Even after powerful communication campaigns and investments in the sanitary sector to create a European clinical database, the current level of information is insufficient and brings about exorbitant costs. There are a plethora of reliable data speaking about the positive effects, in terms of time, cost and health of the patients, facilitating the communications between two or more geographically distant hospitals. This article reviews the evidences that the recent academic literature and enacted European projects gave rise to, and tries to evaluate the application of e-health in the candidate status countries where Albania is part of.
