Many countries have introduced national strategies for developing, disseminating and implementing eHealth. It is however not so common to find thorough monitoring activities that evaluate what has been achieved and whether the goals in the strategies really have been accomplished. The Nordic eHealth Research Network (NeRN), which was established by the Nordic Council of Ministers’ eHealth group, has been developing indicators to monitor national progress in eHealth implementation in the Nordic countries since 2012. The results contain a methodology for generating eHealth indicators [1], benchmarking results comparing 49 common eHealth indicators between the Nordic countries [2] and recommendations for the long-term management of eHealth indicators [3]. The most recent work includes an analysis of the impact of policies and governance efforts in the Nordic countries, an update of common indicators for monitoring availability, use and outcome of health information technologies in accordance with emerging new policy goals, and an analysis and recommendations around a Nordic model survey to monitor citizens’ views on eHealth [4]. The results of this collaborative work led further to the development of a Swedish citizen survey that was then administrated in Autumn 2019 by the Swedish eHealth Agency with help from Statistics Sweden and that will be presented at Vitalis (ID3514). Overall, the NeRN results point at important differences in the approach in the different Nordic countries and also call attention to areas to consider in order to realize national policies. Major results of the NeRN work will be presented and discussed between researchers and government representatives.
