Consumers want services that are effective, responsive, convenient, and worth the cost. In response to these demands, web-based and other electronic technologies are revolutionizing health care services. \u003ci\u003eCritical Issues for the Development of Sustainable E-Health Solutions\u003c\/i\u003e surveys this rapid transformation as it is occurring worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusing on new applications in consumer-centered health care in North America, Europe, and Asia, the book demonstrates how electronic innovations can balance business objectives (e.g., low cost, improved performance management) while attending to consumer needs (e.g., access, quality, and value). Keeping technical jargon to a minimum, chapter authors dissect the impact of e-solutions on both sides of the health care system, and the keys to successful adaptation and sustainability. Facilitators and obstacles to IT changeovers based on economic, cultural, and other factors are identified in detail. And the book warns realistically against the pitfalls of designing and implementing tech-based platforms in systems not yet ready to make such changes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sampling of topics covered: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA strategic model for health care IS design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnline discussion forums as a means of peer support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproving web accessibility for disabled people.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnowledge management: often neglected yet crucial to e-health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBusiness models for electronic health care services: examples from Germany.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA comprehensive approach to the IT-clinical practice interface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its wide scope of innovative ideas, \u003ci\u003eCritical Issues for the Development of Sustainable E-Health Solutions\u003c\/i\u003e is a path-breaking text for health care administrators and researchers in health care management, health policy, and health services.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274357563543,"sku":"9781489989284","price":14690.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781489989284.webp?v=1769279685","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/critical-issues-for-the-development-of-sustainable-e-health-solutions-9781489989284","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
