E-Health is the combined use of
information technology and electronic communication, especially the
internet, in the health sector, for clinical, educational and
administrative purposes; both on-site and at distance (in which case it
is called Telemedicine).

an
organizational approach to improve health care locally or regionally by
using the new opportunities presented by Information and Communication
Technology.
