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

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 information 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
  • 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 include systems to support telemedicine, telehealth, and tele-homecare 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. 

This timely and useful edited collection will serve as a reference for health services administrators, physicians, CIOs and other healthcare professionals, as well as a text for graduate or upper level students.

“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, Ph.D., currently on leave from the University of British Columbia, is professor and head of the Information System and Manufacturing Department at Wayne State University. He serves as guest editor and editorial board member for various journals and sits on key organizing committees for local, national, and international meetings and conferences. Tan’s research—which has enjoyed significant support from local, national, and international funding agencies and other sources—has been widely cited and applied across a number of major disciplines, including health care informatics and clinical decision support, health technology management research, human processing of graphical representations, ergonomics, health administration education, telehealth, mobile health, and e-health promotion programming.

“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.

“As a result of the explosion of Internet usage by the general public over the past few years, most consumers have begun to shift their focus to self-empowerment in all aspects of their daily lives. With his new book, Dr. Tan effectively delves into this new arena of providing health care applications through the Internet.”--Greg Bowerbank, senior consultant, Information Builders Incorporated
