eHealth Book Examines Progress of Electronic Health Applications

By Alan R. Shark, D.P.A. and Sylviane Toporkoff, Ph.D.

Advances in electronic health systems provide great hope in providing citizens with access to health information as never before. To highlight how these systems can reduce costs, minimize mistakes and streamline health care, Public Technology Institute and ITEMS International have released the book eHealth – A Global Perspective.

Its 16 chapters offer insight into electronic health systems and how governments, institutions and businesses use eHealth solutions to improve local health care delivery.

“The health care debate in the U.S. has become polarizing and contentious. But there can be no debate when it comes to showing how effective eHealth systems can be in providing quality health information to patients and enhancing practitioner decision-making,” said Alan Shark, Executive Director of PTI and the book’s co-executive editor.

eHealth – A Global Perspective is one of the Global Perspective series of books from PTI and ITEMS International about technology’s impacts on government service delivery.
