NORDeHEALTH: Usability of national patient portals in Finland, Estonia, Norway, and Sweden
Nordic countries have been forerunners while having patient portals already for a decade. However, it is still important to improve usability for getting more benefits and also help other countries develop their eHealth services. There hasn’t been a similar international comparison as we have now with our international patient survey. We’ll share international and local benefits and challenges regarding the usability of national patient portals in Finland, Estonia, Norway, and Sweden.”
