Zusammenfassung

e-Health bedeutet mehr als Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie. Es ermutigt und ermächtigt den Patienten sich Informationen hinsichtlich Krankheiten und Behandlungen zu beschaffen und damit aktiv beim Gesundheitsprozess mitzuarbeiten. Die Gangart hinsichtlich Bildung und Ermutigung der Bürger ist auch im Public Governance ein zentraler Punkt, der mittels e-Health bei der Umsetzung unterstützt werden kann. Diese neue Denkweise verändert auch die klassische Arzt-Patienten-Beziehung vom akzeptierenden zum steuernden Patienten. Aktuell gibt es in Österreich nur wenige bereits umgesetzte e-Health-Projekte zur Stärkung der Patientenrechte und Erhöhung der Bürgerbeteiligung.

Abstract

e-Health is more than information and communication technology. It offers innovative ways to enhance the encouragement, education and power of the patients and enables them to gather information about their diseases and treatments. These facts are also part of public governance which e-Health can assist and improve. The traditional relationship concerning knowledge and power between patients and health care providers is shifting in the other direction. In Austria there are several e-Health projects supporting patient empowerment and citizen participation, many of them still in a nascent state, which are evaluated in the paper. The projects are able to empower the citizens and encourage them to actively take part in the health care process.
