The first steps towards developing pan-European telemedicine applications consists in observing and evaluating what already exists. Experts agree that the basic technology already exists. They also agree that R&D results can be obtained from ESPRIT, RACE, and BRITE. This study dealt with the issue of the work organisation and the flow of information among the various bodies involved, advocating for telecoms and health ministries to join efforts, and collaborate at the highest level, creating close cooperation and direct communication. A strong co-ordination of efforts between the main partners in Europe - industry, health ministries - was seen as a key to future telemedicine and telematic applications.
