Lifestyle
The future of healthcare will be shaped by
seven separate, but interconnected, trends.
 Healthcare spending will continue to rise, not only because of inflationary
drivers, but because of growing recognition by policymakers that improved
health is linked with greater national wealth.
 Keeping the universal healthcare model will require rationing of services and
consolidation of healthcare facilities, as public resources fall short of demand.
 General physicians will become more important as gatekeepers to the system
and as co-ordinators of treatment for patients with multiple health issues.
 More effective preventive measures and fundamental lifestyle changes will be
promoted to encourage healthy behavior.
 European governments will need to find a way to improve collection and
transparency of health data in order to prioritize investment decisions.
 Patients will need to take more responsibility for their own health, treatment
and care.
 Governments will have to tackle bureaucracy and liberalize rules that restrict
the roles of healthcare professionals and artificially raise the cost of medical
research.

5 extreme scenarios for European healthcare
in 2030:
 Technology triumphs and cures chronic disease, while ehealth takes a prominent role in the management of
healthcare;
 European nations join forces to create a single panEuropean healthcare system;
 Preventive medicine takes precedence over treating the
sick;
 European healthcare systems focus on vulnerable members
of society;
 European nations privatize all of healthcare, including its
funding.

Electronic medical records (EMRs)
and IT.
 By 2020,
health systems will move from predominantly paper
records controlled by the industry to predominantly
digital ones controlled by individuals.
Ninety percent of health leaders surveyed said making
EMRs available to clinicians and patients would make
their systems more efficient and effective. But effective
implementation will be difficult and expensive.

data, with the right to make decisions over access to the data
and to be informed about how it will be used.
 The main preconditions
 trusted, accepted and interoperable data collection and
management;
 understanding of the benefits by all stakeholders.
 The main benefits
 for patients who are empowered to manage their own health –
if they wish – and get personalized treatment
Liberate the data
Large amounts of data currently sit in different silos within health and
social care systems. If this data is released in an appropriate manner
and used effectively it could transform the way that care is provided.
 The main precondition
 is that regulators and policymakers to require institutions to publish
their data;
 The main benefits

new services, more choice through more competition
better and more evidence.
Connect up everything
The digital environment is growing and evolving rapidly with an
increasing trend of interaction and sharing. The popularity of
online networking and social spaces has created a parallel digital
existence for millions of people.
 The main preconditions
 policymakers and regulators provide for open access to public
services and require minimum standardization and safety of

health awareness.
Recommendations
 A new laegal basis for health data in Europe
 Create a“beacon group“ of Member States and
regions committed to open data and eHealth
 Support health literacy
 Use the power of data
 Re- orient EU fonding and policies
