Critical Issues for the Development of Sustainable E-health Solutions

From the reviews:

“The book presents the impact of ICT globally and discusses the potential sustainability of such systems. The intended audience is academics, healthcare practitioners, and graduate students interested in technologies and their application to healthcare. … no comparable book on the market that presents this difficult material in such a user-friendly way. … There is also a good discussion of the electronic health record and its relationship to meaningful use as well as its return on investment that is not found in many e-health books.” (Carole Ann Kenner, Doody’s Review Service, April, 2012)
