“…However, after 2 years of operation, less than 1% of PINs are rolled out, because a secure identification of the insured person at eIDAS Level of Assurance ‘high’ is needed for applying for a PIN which generally means registering in person in an office by using an official ID card or passport. Starting from 2024, mobile devices like smartphones or tablets (‘Digital Identities’) 55 must by law be introduced as authentication means, enabling an easier use of apps for accessing data and authorizing healthcare providers. Authorization of healthcare providers is always explicit (opt-in).…”

Objectives Electronic health records (EHRs) are considered important for improving efficiency and reducing costs of a healthcare system. However, the adoption of EHR systems differs among countries and so does the way the decision to participate in EHRs is presented. Nudging is a concept that deals with influencing human behaviour within the research stream of behavioural economics. In this paper, we focus on the effects of the choice architecture on the decision for the adoption of national EHRs. Our study aims to link influences on human behaviour through nudging with the adoption of EHRs to investigate how choice architects can facilitate the adoption of national information systems. Methods We employ a qualitative explorative research design, namely the case study method. Using theoretical sampling, we selected four cases (i.e., countries) for our study: Estonia, Austria, the Netherlands, and Germany. We collected and analyzed data from various primary and secondary sources: ethnographic observation, interviews, scientific papers, homepages, press releases, newspaper articles, technical specifications, publications from governmental bodies, and formal studies. Results The findings from our European case studies show that designing for EHR adoption should encompass choice architecture elements (i.e., defaults), technical elements (i.e., choice granularity and access transparency), and institutional elements (i.e., regulations for data protection, information campaigns, and financial incentives) in combination. Conclusions Our findings provide insights on the design of the adoption environments of large-scale, national EHR systems. Future research could estimate the magnitude of effects of the determinants.

The ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic have contributed in part to a recent upsurge in the study and development of eHealth systems. Although it is almost impossible to cover all aspects of eHealth in a single discussion, three critical areas have gained traction. These include the need for acceptable eHealth architectures, the development of mobile health (mHealth) technologies, and the need to address eHealth system security concerns. Existing survey articles lack a synthesis of the most recent advancements in the development of architectures, mHealth solutions, and innovative security measures, which are essential components of effective eHealth systems. Consequently, the present article aims at providing an encompassing survey of these three aspects towards the development of successful and efficient eHealth systems. Firstly, we discuss the most recent innovations in eHealth architectures, such as blockchain-, Internet of Things (IoT)-, and cloud-based architectures, focusing on their respective benefits and drawbacks while also providing an overview of how they might be implemented and used. Concerning mHealth and security, we focus on key developments in both areas while discussing other critical topics of importance for eHealth systems. We close with a discussion of the important research challenges and potential future directions as they pertain to architecture, mHealth, and security concerns. This survey gives a comprehensive overview, including the merits and limitations of several possible technologies for the development of eHealth systems. This endeavor offers researchers and developers with a quick snapshot of the information necessary during the design and decision-making phases of the eHealth system development life cycle. Furthermore, we conclude that building a unified architecture for eHealth systems would require combining several existing designs. It also points out that there are still a number of problems to be solved, so more research and investment are needed to develop and deploy functional eHealth systems.
