In chapter ‘Telematics, E-Health, Tele-Health and Telecare’ explains Prof. Dr. Christine von Reibnitz those terms, draws distinctions and discusses the areas of application for digital healthcare.
She shows how telemedicine, electronic health services and telecare can contribute to improving the quality, accessibility and efficiency of care.
In this article, the author discusses the necessary technological infrastructure, data protection and security aspects, and specific implementation challenges in practice and organisation.
The result is a concise introduction to the relevant concepts and their practical significance in nursing and healthcare.
