Abstract: The challenges for healthcare systems in the European Union include demand side and supply side drivers. On the demand side, demographic changes due to ageing and increasing personal income are shaping growing expectations of healthcare services to increase quality and access, reduce disease burden, respond to emergency disease risks, and assist mobility and adaptation to the workplace. On the supply side, healthcare systems are under the pressure from limited budgets and the increasing complexity of healthcare provision which requires the management of investments in technology and interoperability of information flows alongside organizational changes.
