“…It would have been interesting to investigate the link between using a well‐defined plan and well‐executed implementation of an eHealth tool (e.g., according to the three elements of MPT) and the effect on outcomes. Third, one of the main challenges of this review was to determine what is included in the concept “eHealth,” as it is often used as an umbrella term for different aspects of delivering and facilitating health care (Oh et al., 2005; Skär & Söderberg, 2017). A clear definition could decrease the risk of misinterpretation of what is intended by providing eHealth and stimulate the exchange of relevant knowledge about eHealth to support people with mild intellectual disability.…”

Around the world, increasing use is being made of health services and information delivered or enhanced over the Internet or related technologies, also referred to as eHealth (Eysenbach, 2001). This development may primarily be inspired by the potential of eHealth to improve the quality of the care provided while also upholding affordable care (Proudfoot et al., 2011). In addition, eHealth provides an opportunity for personalized, tailor-made, remote and on-demand support and treatment (

“…Nevertheless, much remains unknown about the proposed eHealth needs of healthcare professionals, from the first preoperative surgical visit at the outpatient clinic until postdischarge care. Although eHealth solutions should be developed on the basis of a patient's specific needs and conditions for use, in accordance with the healthcare professionals’ commitment to providing high‐quality care (Skär & Soderberg, ), the current research still only provides limited evidence to indicate how to develop new eHealth services to support surgical care journeys. Evidence is particularly lacking regarding the needs that could, in the near future, be resolved with new information and communication technologies.…”

Aims and objectives To examine the lived experience of healthcare professionals providing care for patients with total hip and knee arthroplasty and to understand healthcare professionals’ proposed eHealth needs in elective primary fast‐track hip and knee arthroplasty journey. Background There is little evidence in nursing literature to indicate how to develop new eHealth services to support surgical care journeys. Evidence is particularly lacking regarding the development of eHealth solutions. Design This was a qualitative interview study. Methods Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with four surgeons, two anaesthesiologists, ten nurses and four physiotherapists in a single joint replacement centre during autumn 2018. The data were analysed using an inductive content analysis method. NVivo qualitative data analysis software was used. The COREQ checklist for qualitative studies was followed. Results Our research addressed the gap in evidence by focusing on the four main parts of the patient journey in the selected context. Analysis of the data revealed nine main categories for the proposed eHealth needs: eligibility criteria, referrals, meeting the Health Care Guarantee, patient flow, postdischarge care, patient counselling, communication, transparency of the journey and receiving feedback. In addition, the requirements and further development needs for eHealth solutions were generally identified. Conclusions From the point of view of healthcare professionals, eHealth solutions have huge potential in supporting the elective primary fast‐track hip and knee arthroplasty journey. However, it is important to acknowledge that these needs may be very different depending on the technological and organisational environment in question. Relevance to clinical practice More effective use of information and communication technologies is needed for organisational optimisation resulting in a streamlined pathway, better access to healthcare services, improved outcomes and an improved patient experience. These results can be used in the development of new eHealth solutions to support surgical care journeys and patient education.

“…This means that e-health can bridge the gaps in society, or it can increase them if the most vulnerable groups are not reached, such as those with limited access to the Internet or mobile technology, or who are not digitally literate [1]. Ethical aspects, such as why and how e-health is used must also be recognized [15]. The technology itself is rarely the biggest challenge in terms of e-health.…”

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) promote a sustainable future for all by leaving no one behind. This includes improving the access to information and communication technology (ICT) and using it to increase access to health services in all parts of a nation [1]. Electronic services that are used in healthcare are often referred to as electronic health (e-health) or mobile health (m-health). The difference between e-health and m-health is that m-health refers to services that are mobile and wireless, such as mobile phones [2]. However, some argue that m-health includes all telecommunication devices for the transfer of healthcare information between participants at different locations [3].
