Abstract

This paper emphasizes the electronic communication as a means for fulfilling new requirements for the Health Care: the demand for continuity and coordination in the provided services. Regional Health Care Networks can interconnect different computer systems for health care, and support cross sectorial communication. The barriers for implementation of such networks are discussed. A European project - CoCo - which aims at reducing the barriers and improvingthe continuity and coordination of health care and social services, is presented.
