e-Health Preparedness for A Pandemic

An influenza pandemic or outbreak of unknown respiratory disease can increase morbidity and mortality levels and, as a result, cause social disruption and economic losses. e-Health, an application of information and communication technologies (ICT) across the whole range of functions which affect health, may mitigate the impact of a pandemic by facilitating pandemic surveillance and control activities, and improving performance of medical practices. This book presents a solution to increase the chances of e-Health implementation success.
