The “Pilot on eHealth Indicators” study was carried out by empirica in association with IPSOS on behalf of the European Commission, Information Society and Media Directorate-General. The purpose of the present study was to measure the availability and use of ICT by primary care physicians in the EU27 and EEA countries, achieved by means of a survey of primary care physicians on their use of ICT for communicating with patients and for communication between primary and secondary care and other eHealth agencies. Through this survey up-to-date information and data on eHealth developments was obtained. In addition 29 Country Briefs for each of the Member States, Norway and Iceland were developed. The survey addressed questions of infrastructure availability as well as the use of different ICT/eHealth applications in General Practitioner practices across Europe.

From the universe a random sample of practices / institutions with a quota on region and - where possible - private practice / institution was drawn.
