Abstract

One of the key benefits of E-Health systems is in the digitization of data, which allows electronic digital transmission, sorting, retrieval and other manipulations. E-Health directly supports healthcare prevention, patient diagnosis and patient management and care, both at the local site and at a distance. This study proposes an approach for the assessment and requirement specification of E-Health systems. We view assessment as a tool for developing requirements specifications as well as continuous assessment of the system.
