A Strategic Approach to e-health Interoperability Using e-government Frameworks

This chapter is concerned with the adaptation of e-government interoperability frameworks in the context of e-health. Most governments around the globe released their e-government strategies during the last decade. Their own framework policies, covering security, and confidentiality as well as delivery channels supported these e-government strategies. The European Union has set up different initiatives in the area of e-government within the limits of its powers in the domain of Public Administration (Alabau, 2004). One of such policies was the interoperability policy (CEC, 2002; OECD, 2003). ABSTRACT
