EHTEL is a cross-border, multidisciplinary collaboration forum focused on eHealth deployment. Its goals are to facilitate expert networking and knowledge sharing on deployment best practices, policies supporting deployment, and incubating healthcare innovation. EHTEL also contributes to EU projects and promotes their findings to support knowledge development. Some of EHTEL's recent activities include working group meetings on competence centers and innovation incubators, as well as advocacy on topics like interoperability, telemedicine adoption, and patient empowerment.
