Call for Papers
Electronic Healthcare provides a forum for case studies which explore e-models, e-practices and e-products for e-health. Submissions should describe a typical e-health situation or problem. It is a written account, ideally from the decision-maker's point of view, of an undertaking as it actually occurred. The outcome of the situation described should generally be measured against selected criteria or benchmarks, and its presentation should contribute in one way or another to best practices and excellence. Finally, case studies offer an opportunity to relate real experience to the principles and practices of e-health. For more information please contact Rebecca Hart at rhart@longwoods.com.
