Paralleling emerging trends in cyber-health technology, concerns
are mounting about racial, ethnic, disparities in health care
utilization and outcomes. eHealth Solutions for Health Care
Disparities brings these currents together, challenging readers to
use, promote, and develop new technology-based methods for closing
these gaps. Edited by a leading urban health advocate and featuring
16 expert contributors, the book examines cyber-strategies with the
greatest potential toward effective, equitable care, improved
service delivery and better health outcomes for all.
Chapters go well beyond the possibilities of the Electronic
Medical Record to discuss emerging roles for information technology
in promoting healthful behavior changes (e.g., nutrition, weight
loss, smoking cessation), disease prevention (e.g., cancer, HIV),
and healthcare utilization, patient education and medicine
compliance). The rise of e-Patients and the transformation of the
doctor-patient relationship are also discussed. Opportunities for
Web based products and interventions are explored in terms of
tracking disparities, improving healthcare utilization and health
outcomes, reducing disparities and monitoring trends among
patients, whether they have Internet capabilities or not.
