Abstract: The European Hospital Survey: Benchmarking deployment of e-Health services (20122013) project is the continuation of eHealth benchmarking Phase III survey. This survey funded and managed by Unit F4 of DG CONNECT, gathered data from a statistically representative sample of European acute hospitals in order to benchmark their level of eHealth deployment. IPTS researchers were part of the steering board of this project and were given the opportunity to access and use the data as soon as they were ready. In 2011 as a result of this collaboration between IPTS and DG CONNECT/F4 "A composite index for the benchmarking of eHealth Deployment in European acute Hospitals. Distilling reality in manageable form for evidence based policy" was published. The aim of the European Hospital Survey: Benchmarking deployment of e-Health services (20122013) Project is to design, gather and analyse eHealth deployment in European acute Hospitals to develop a follow up of the composite indicator carried out by IPTS and to identify the trends among the other benchmarking exercises.
