e is for … evaluation?
This year’s e-health conference is titled “e is for everyone” but I want to focus on another “e”: evaluation. I have heard a few people suggest that the next “big thing” in ehealth is evaluation. I’m not sure if I agree or disagree with this prediction. Up until recently, much of the effort in health…

e-Health 2005 Conference – thoughts from day 1
Here are my observations from day 1 of the e-Health 2005 conference. I would have posted more often during the day, but wireless Internet connections were not provided as part of the conference.

My talk will be about the definition of eHealth (shameless self plug here) and my “vision” for the future of eHealth. I’ll post my presentation file…
