When speaking about eBusiness as applied to the healthcare market two questions arise immediately. Firstly, what is eBusiness? Secondly, why is eBusiness in healthcare different from eBusiness in other sectors?
Within the arena of eBusiness in healthcare, the focus is on purchasing and selling online as the most advanced application. In this book, the Authors consider both the perspective of the healthcare providers and that of the suppliers, showing the interdependencies between the two and developing concepts for a new synergistic cooperation.
eBusiness in Healthcare raises awareness of and interest in electronically mediated business processes in healthcare to a large audience including healthcare informaticians, medical business managers, clinicians, pharmacists and scientists. By taking an international approach to the topic the authors demonstrate the many similarities of eBusiness problems and their solutions among different countries which permits analysis of the differences that are often defined by the national healthcare systems and their rules. Case studies from healthcare institutions and from suppliers in the US, the UK and Germany will illustrate the achievements, barriers and future plans, thus enabling newcomers to learn from previous experience.
Clinicians will gain significant insight by this book which demonstrates the interconnection between patient care processes and management issues at the level of medical supplies. The book also makes a plea for a multidisciplinary effort, to enable the right product to be procured for the right patient. As a rather new discipline, eBusiness in healthcare needs further scientific backing. Against this background, this book will not only provide answers but will also raise questions for future research. Managing change and innovation and establishing the critical mass for eBusiness in healthcare is a major undertaking. The aim of this book is to support this process.
Die Gesundheitstelematik unterstützt die Versorgungskontinuität und fördert damit die Patientensicherheit. In Anlehnung an den eArztbrief wurde an der FH Osnabrück der elektronische Pflegebericht entwickelt. Mit dem ePflegebe-richt leistet die Pflege einen ersten wichtigen Beitrag zur Gestaltung eigener gesundheitstelematischer Anwendungen.
Health Telematics Europe
(2011)
The adoption and use of information technology (IT) in health care is influenced by many factors and depends on legal and cultural constraints prevailing in a country. While Europe is constantly coalescing on a political basis, health care is a sector still dominated by national legislation. Consequently, different types of national health care systems have existed throughout Europe for decades which now build the framework for the use of information and communication technology (ICT) by health care provider organizations. The following paragraphs will, therefore, provide a concise overview of the different types of national health care systems in Europe and will characterize the countries with regard to key indicators.
