The eHealth Strategy of the Principality of Liechtenstein lays the foundations for the sustainable development of an IT-supported and modern healthcare system in the Principality of Liechtenstein. The eHealth Strategy was approved by the government in 2012. EHealth also plays a central role in the Digital Agenda Liechtenstein, which was adopted in 2019.

• People in the Principality of Liechtenstein can access relevant information about themselves and obtain services from the healthcare professionals of their choice, regardless of time and place.
• They are actively involved in decisions regarding their health behaviors and health problemsand thus strengthen their health literacy.
• Information and communication technologies are used in a way that ensures the interconnectedness of health care actors and that processes are of better quality, safer and more efficient.

• Improving quality of care and patient safety through access to relevant patient information by treating physicians
• Increase efficiency by avoiding unnecessary multiple consultations and incorrect treatments and by reducing drug incompatibilities
• Medium- and long-term cost reduction through quality improvements

These goals also correspond to the main goals according to the eHealth Strategy Switzerland. Additional goals for Liechtenstein are:

• To ensure a modern healthcare system in Liechtenstein with the principle of "smart follower" instead of "first mover"
