EMISPHER and the Virtual Euro-Mediterranean Hospital -VEMH - as Best Practice for Bridging the Digital Divide in Healthcare

چکیده
EMISPHER (Euro-Mediterranean Internet-Satellite Platform for Health, medical Education and Research) has successfully implemented an internet-satellite platform with 10 sites in the EuroMediterranean region. Based on EMISPHER the Virtual Euro-Mediterranean Hospital (VEMH) aims to facilitate the interconnection of the various services through real integration. This integration must take into account the social, human and cultural dimensions. VEMH will include the EU, its neighbours in the South and the East and will put special emphasis on the New EU Member States and the Associated Candidate Countries. VEMH will provide a heterogeneous integrated platform combining satellite links and terrestrial links for a wide range of medical services. Yet, the methodologies for the VEMH are medicalneeds-driven instead of technology-driven. Through fellowship programmes VEMH will invest in a new generation of young physicians able to work with different needs and in cultures.
