“…An important aspect of healthcare is information sharing and communication for the purposes of patient care and treatment (Masseroli et al, 2006). Hence, healthcare portals typically contain features that allow online health information seekers to be better informed and connected with other like-minded people (Gupta et al, 2000).…”

Healthcare portals are becoming increasingly popular with Internet users since they play an important role in supporting interaction between individuals and healthcare organizations with a Web presence. Additionally, many of these organizations make use of knowledge management mechanisms on their healthcare portals to manage the abundance of health-related information, and exchange and share information with their users. Hence, the objective of this study is to evaluate the extent to which knowledge management mechanisms can be supported by healthcare portals. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of knowledge management mechanisms used by 60 healthcare portals to access, create and transfer knowledge. We selected healthcare portals from two geographical regions (i.e. North America and Asia) and three healthcare portal provider categories (i.e. hospital, government, non-government). We found that healthcare portals from different geographical regions and portal provider categories differed significantly on how they used their portals to access, create and transfer knowledge. The results of this study can be used by healthcare portal providers to enhance their knowledge management practices and improve their customer service relationships.

Summary Objectives: To analyze utilization of sensor technology in telemonitoring and home care and to discuss concepts and challenges of sensor-enhanced regional health information systems (rHIS). Methods: The study is based upon experience in sensor-based telemedicine and rHIS projects, and on an analysis of HIS-related journal publications from 2003 to 2005 conducted in the context of publishing the IMIA Yearbook of Medical Informatics. Results: Health-related parameters that are subject to sensor-based measurement in home care and tele-monitoring are identified. Publications related to tele-monitoring, home care and smart houses are analyzed concerning scope and utilization of sensor technology. Current approaches for integrating sensor technology in rHIS based on a corresponding eHealth infrastructure are identified. Based on a coarse architecture of home care and telemonitoring systems ten challenges for sensor-enhanced rHIS are identified and discussed: integration of home and health telematic platforms towards a sensor-enhanced telematic platform, transmission rate guarantees, ad hoc connectivity, cascading data analysis, remote configuration, message and alert logistic, sophisticated user interfaces, unobtrusiveness, data safety and security, and electronic health record integration. Conclusions: Utilization of sensor technology in health care is an active field of research. Currently few research projects and standardization initiatives focus on general architectural considerations towards suitable telematic platforms for establishing sensor-enhanced rHIS. Further research finalized by corresponding standardization is needed. Part 2 of this paperwill present experiences with a research prototype for a sensor-enhanced rHIS telematic platform.

“…A literature survey on the current trends in e-Healthcare research shows several projects dedicated to the development of web-based applications to support enhanced patient care. While several researchers have presented Internet based Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems [1,2], development of web-based applications for emergency care and building collaborative care environments for improved healthcare services [3][4][5] have also been active areas of study. Researches in the direction of healthcare delivery at home [6,7] and online monitoring of patients' vital statistics [8] have gained momentum in recent times.…”

Security of Telemedicine applications is not often given adequate importance by the developers and healthcare administrators primarily to reduce cost. Though some security safeguards are employed by these applications to comply with existing medical data security and privacy regulations, these are not adequate in today's context. Moreover, in a web-based application environment not only the data but also the application itself is vulnerable to attackers. Keeping these concerns in mind, we present the design of a web-based, four-tier Telemedicine System named iMedik which is accessible over desktops as well as handheld devices. We have illustrated how the proposed system differs from existing three-tier web applications. The compliance status of the application with HIPAA Security Guidelines has also been noted. The security measures described in our approach look into the four-tier architecture from an attacker's viewpoint and present a simple road map for developing secure e-health application with anywhere, anytime availability.
