Reviews & Statements

For our purposes in this book eHealth is therefore best examined in terms of its social as well as technical ramifications, and especially its political and economic (or political economy) contexts at and between different service levels, including the local, the regional and the global. However, only very limited systematic research has been carried out to inform eHealth policy and practice in this sense. It was one of the objectives of this book to address this deficiency.
