TEN4Health - Trans-European healthcare support network for Europe’s mobile citizen

TEN4Health was a project (2007-2009) that contributed to improved healthcare provision for mobile European Union citizens. Initiated by leading public health insurance providers, the TEN4Health service package assures access of citizens to healthcare in participating Member States’ hospitals, based on a secure web service and its integration into developing European eHealth infrastructure networks. The TEN4Health service package fundamentally contributed to the ubiquitous acceptance of the European Health Insurance Card and prepares for the later introduction of its eCard version. It greatly enhanced and extended its utility by integrating efficient support for electronic post-processing at the Union level. The TEN4Health service was validated at 11 hospitals directly participating in the consortium, and several other indirectly participating hospital sites across six Member States – Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.

The service, extended by the project, is further maintained by the AOK Rheinland/ Hamburg. Up to date information can be obtained under
