Abstract

The purpose of this best practice guideline (BPG) is to provide evidence-based individual, organization, education, and system/policy recommendations to: 1) enhance the capacity of all individuals involved in the implementation of an eHealth solution within a health care organization; 2) establish suitable infrastructures to support eHealth education needs; and, 3) facilitate technology-enabled health system transformation.

The Individual/Organization Recommendations provided in this Guideline will have relevance for all individuals involved in the implementation of an eHealth solution within a health care organization, regardless of their role. Academic institutions may use the Education Recommendations to develop or enhance their eHealth curricula. Lastly, individuals who lead, facilitate, or support eHealth initiatives at the regional, jurisdictional, or national levels may find the System/Policy Recommendations useful for developing policies, procedures and protocols.
