Abstract
Ethical Issues in eHealth: The full project in the City of Riga will target not only teleradiology, but also
telecardiology, teleconsultation of patients, teletraining, tele-emergency
services, and telemedicine anti-terror systems. The programme aims to reach
four objectives: (1) establish a communication channel to exchange
information between the municipal authorities and the various medical
institutions (in- and out-patient care); (2) develop centralized information
aggregation capacities in hospitals and healthcare institutions; (3) establish a
communication channel to exchange information and specialist consultations
for the development of a medical home-care network; (4) organise training
for practicing family physicians m providing telemedicine services. The
Telemedicine and Videoconference Division of the Information Technologies
Centre of Riga's City Council is responsible for the implementation of the
programme.
