25. Summary of key findings
 European Union Member States are advancing at different speeds.
 Taking pragmatic steps that are driven by the expected benefits for patients and the healthcare system
alike is key to shaping digital transformation positively
 Promoting acceptance through strategies such as co-design measures is essential to success
 The EU should continue to foster the exchange of best practices between Member States and
promote an adequate setting of standards for digital health
 The exchange of best practices should include national strategies to become cross-border role models
for driving uptake of digital solutions
 International benchmarking and cross-national studies of digital strategies and their success criteria
should regularly monitor progress, measure impact and exhibit lessons learned
