Abstract: At the beginning of the millennium, it appears that the health sector has become a primary sector more than ever, directly influencing economic development and welfare default. In the era of the information society, great importance is given medical services, based on the idea of backlash from the patient / user care, its ability to deliver what he wants. Patients need to be identified needs so that medical personnel to meet their health using appropriate techniques and procedures. The state of health is influenced, in large measure, the quality of health care services for their area and how to organize them. To this end, we approached this work, highlighting the importance to be attached to the presence of information technology in the health field, highlighting facilities offered by them. E-health allows the use of information and communication technologies in the health sector, making medical records, electronic prescriptions, facilitating access, increasing quality of care, reducing costs and streamlining health systems. Thus, we addressed the need for computer implementation, and we present some of the computer components to health: file electronic health cards, health care systems, electronic prescriptions and new concepts emerging on the market, respectively, telemedicine and m-health. In conclusion, we emphasized that e-health involves not only the use of new technologies, but also the adoption of more efficient working methods, thus electronic services play a key role in developing an integrated European medical markets and are essential to allow growth restriction excessive costs.
