Patient target groups and learning topics

In the eHospital project seven pilot e-learning programmes for hospital patients were planned, organised and implemented in Austria, Spain, France, Germany, Poland, and Switzerland.

In each participating country an education provider, who was a formal partner of the European project, initiated the e-learning offer. Each of these education providers cooperated with a local hospital, which was interested in making learning offers available to its patients.

These pilot programmes provided different opportunities of informal learning to different groups of hospital patients. The patient groups as well as the learning topics were selected at the request of the cooperating pilot hospitals. In their diversity they highlight the diverse purposes learning can potentially have in the context of patient education.
