The European Commission has set a goal to give all Europeans "secure, online access to their medical health data by 2015," Government Health IT reported. According to the article, "The European Commission is proposing ambitious, wide-ranging public investments in digital technologies that will allow it to tackle looming challenges, including the support of an aging population and limiting health care costs." The EC is also "proposing that a minimum, common set of patient data be defined that will allow patient records to be accessed or exchanged electronically across all of the EU's 27 member states by 2012."
One potential roadblock to this vision, however, is that over "30% of Europeans have never used the Internet."
