Summary:

E-health care information systems include systems to support telemedicine, telehealth, and telehomecare services. Although many benefits are believed to come out of e-health there is as yet no systematic framework for incorporating these technologies into organized medicine and health systems.

E-Health Care Information Systems is a comprehensive collection written by leading experts from a range of disciplines including medicine, health sciences, engineering, business information systems, general science, and computing technology. This easily followed text provides a theoretical framework with sound methodological approaches and is filled with numerous case examples. Topics include e-health records, e-public information systems, e-network and surveys, general and specific applications of e-health such as e-rehabilitation, e-medicine, e-homecare, e-diagnosis support systems, and e-health intelligence. E-Health Care Information Systems also covers strategies in e-health care technology management, e-security issues, and the impacts of e-technologies. In addition, this book reviews new and emerging technologies such as mobile health, virtual reality and nanotechnology, and harnessing the power of e-technologies for real-world applications.

E-Health Care Information Systems gives students and leaders the guidelines for harnessing accessible, available, affordable, and accountable medicine. "Health care is experiencing a fast-moving cultural transformation that challenges us to change our perspective from a provider-centric to a patient-centric model of health care delivery. This transformation is fueled by the evolution of information systems in medicine, and empowered by e-health approaches to making health care more efficient, affordable, and accessible. E-Health Care Information Systems offers health care professionals a guide to understanding e-health in practice." - William Hendee , senior associate dean and vice president, Medical College of Wisconsin " E-Health Care Information Systems is essential reading for those who are interested in learning about a vision for e-health, its foundational perspectives, applications, and strategies in this time of e-health paradigm shift." - In Lee , editor-in-chief, International Journal of E-Business Research "Understanding the power of the Internet is absolutely necessary for any business to operate in the world today. Joseph Tan presents a very complete and comprehensive picture of the world of e-health and its uses in the health care field. E-Health Care Information Systems is an excellent source of information that provides a platform for both the student and the health care professional in today's environment." - David Thompson , chief information officer, Borgess Health Alliance "Joseph Tan's emphasis on the significance of e-health puts health care providers on notice that technology is a force to befriend in delivering sound medical care in the 21st century! A must-read for all of us committed to providing the best care for those we love." - Tony Fama , president, Maria Madeline Project, Inc.
