Many stakeholders in the hospital environment will be impacted including patients, physicians, nurses, technicians, administrators and other hospital personnel. Different levels of training of hospital personnel will be required, based on the degree of interaction with the RFID system. Computations of costs and savings will help decision makers understand the benefits and implications of the technology in the hospital environment.

“…E-health has been promoted by the European Commission (EC) (2013,2014), because of its assumed potential for alleviating some of the public health problems that the European Union (EU) struggles with: growing burden of chronic and civilisation diseases, ageing. All of them are associated with rising costs of treatment and care, and shortages of the medical staff, and which the EC hopes to reduce with the help of the technology (Bell & Thornton, 2011;Kumar & Bauer, 2011). The value of the global e-health market was estimated at $2.2 billion in 2015, and its projected growth to $6.5 billion by 2020 by some sources (MarketsandMarkets, 2015), or even to €17.6 billion by 2017 by others (European Commission, 2015).…”

Development of e-health in Poland has suffered from multiple setbacks and delays. This paper presents views on and experiences with implementation of e-health solutions of three groups of respondents: buyers, suppliers and external experts with the aim of establishing to what extent and in what way e-health development was taking place in Polish public health care and if there were any national policy targets or European targets influencing this development. It is based on desktop studies and interviews conducted in Poland in the spring and summer of 2015. The interviews largely confirmed findings from the desktop study: legal obstacles were the decisive factor hindering the development of e-health, especially telemedicine, with extensive insufficiency of basic IT infrastructure closely following. Stakeholders were deterred from engaging with telemedicine, and from procuring e-health using non-standard procedures, from fear of legal liability. Some doctor’s resistance to e-health was also noted. There are reasons for optimism. Amendment to the Act on the System of Information in Health Care removed most legal obstacles to e-health. The Polish national payer (NFZ) has started introducing reimbursement for remote services, though it is still too early see results of these changes. Some doctors′ reluctance to telemedicine may change due to demographic changes in this professional group, younger generations may regard ICT-based solutions as a norm. In the same time, poor development of basic IT infrastructure in Polish hospitals is likely to persist, unless a national programme of e-health development is implemented (with funds secured) and contracting e-health services by NFZ is introduced on a larger scale.

“…To improve healthcare delivery, governments and healthcare organizations worldwide are investing considerable resources in health information technology (HIT). These technologies indeed have proven to optimize patient care, prevent medical errors, increase the efficiency of care, and reduce unnecessary costs [1][2][3][4][5]. Despite these benefits, HIT use in daily healthcare practice has likewise revealed unanticipated -so-called unintended consequences.…”

While the amount of patient-centered eHealth interventions increases, many questions remain as to whether and to what extent human factors mediate their use and impact. Future research should adopt a formal theory-driven approach towards human factors when investigating those factors' influence on the effectiveness of these interventions. Insights could then be used to better tailor the content and design of eHealth solutions according to patient user profiles, so as to enhance eHealth interventions impact on patient behavior, self-efficacy, and health-related outcomes.
