The European Union (EU) sponsored ARGOS project analysed current eHealth policy thinking in both the EU and the USA, compared strategic challenges and outcomes in selected fields, and drafted roadmaps towards developing advanced global approaches for these issues. This policy brief focuses on better understanding the benefits and costs of eHealth investments, assessing their overall socio-economic impact, identifying challenges and success factors, as well as measuring and globally benchmarking the concrete usage of eHealth solutions. These are by now key policy priorities not only of national governments and the European Commission, but also of international institutions like WHO or OECD. There is a strong felt transatlantic need for stocktaking, identifying lessons learned, sharing of experience, and working together to advance these issues for the benefit of health systems. A growing number of national and international activities can be taken advantage of. Recommendations on how to proceed with such transatlantic activities are proposed.
欧盟（EU）资助的“阿戈斯”项目分析了欧盟和美国当前的电子健康政策思路，比较了选定领域的战略挑战和成果，并起草了针对这些问题制定先进全球方法的路线图。本政策简报着重于更好地理解电子健康投资的收益和成本，评估其总体社会经济影响，确定挑战和成功因素，以及衡量电子健康解决方案的具体使用情况并进行全球基准对比。目前，这些不仅是各国政府和欧盟委员会的关键政策优先事项，也是世界卫生组织或经合组织等国际机构的关键政策优先事项。人们强烈感到，跨大西洋地区需要进行总结评估、吸取经验教训、分享经验，并共同努力推进这些问题，以造福卫生系统。可以利用越来越多的国家和国际活动。本文还提出了关于如何开展此类跨大西洋活动的建议。
