Abstract:
In many industrialized countries, such as the Scandinavian, one of the main goals for eHealth innovation is to use information and communication technologies to avoid the approaching inflection point in healthcare: it is estimated that by 2025 the demand of care could not be sufficiently attended based on today’s healthcare delivery. eHealth services and business models for enabling older people in need of care and patients with chronic conditions may increase efficiency of healthcare and improve Quality of Life for residents. However, eHealth business models are known by their fast speed of change, what results in the need of a methodology to rapidly adapt technical requirements to these typical inter-agency changes. This work presents a research roadmap for collaborative eHealth Service Architectures for homecare. The research focused on the business requirements in service architectures (eBusiness, Enterprise systems), whose findings can inform eHealth research in general, health professionals and vendors.
