9. Roles as a step to our first Goal Goal: Assessment of the scope, scale and characteristics of the healthcare workforce in the US and EU – current status and future trends in terms of eHealth capabilities. By creating a comprehensive and agreed upon list of roles it is easier to focus on the assessment, scope and scale of current eHealth capabilities – Rather then bringing every program that exists to the table it may be easier to see the roles and then bring the curricula that exist to support those roles as part of this process 8
