E-Health: Accessing Knowledge for Global Health of the Knowledge Management & E-Learning: An International Journal (KM&EL)

This issue of E-Health Journal discusses the influence of ICT on health (e-health). According to the editor, "The barriers that have contributed in the past to the inaccessibility of vital health information (and the experience needed to transform such data into actionable knowledge) are beginning to dissipate. Worldwide growth of telecommunications, a groundswell of technology savvy populations, and the dawning awareness of the power of digital health information are fundamentally altering the face of global health." Information and communication technology (ICT) is enabling "the exchange data and services from even the most remote locales around the globe. ICT in health is a global game-changer."
