International Comparison of Six Basic eHealth Indicators Across 14 Countries: An eHealth Benchmarking Study. Methods of information in medicine. 2020 Nov 18.
Many countries adopt eHealth applications to support patient-centered care. Through information exchange, these eHealth applications may overcome institutional data silos and support holistic and ubiquitous (regional or national) information logistics.
