Description
Summary:To identify current challenges and developments in health information systems. Reports on HIS, eHealth and process support were analyzed, core problems and challenges were identified. Health information systems are extending their scope towards regional networks and health IT infrastructures. Integration, interoperability and interaction design are still today's core problems.
