“…Patterns that emerged from the data had to be identified and matched with patterns in the literature review/other scientific knowledge so as to enhance internal validity. Themes suggested by Ammenwerth, Brender, Nykänen, Prokosch, Rigby and Talmon (2004) were considered, adapted and combined to form five themes against which the data were analysed. The themes were:…”

Limited research has been carried out in the field of speech-language pathology with regard to ways of maximising health literacy and client recall. However, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) frequently provide vast amounts of information that clients need to understand, apply and review in order to manage their (or their child’s) health. This exploratory study aimed to contribute information about ways in which SLPs can overcome low health literacy and poor client recall so that treatment effectiveness is improved. A case-study design was used with specific focus on four clients receiving treatment for dysphagia, voice disorders (including laryngectomies) and cleft lip and/or palate management in Cape Town. Strategies which may be able to maximise health literacy and client recall of clinical information were trialled and evaluated by clients and their SLPs, using semi-structured interviews. The researchers proposed a combination of high-tech strategies which assisted in all the cases. No single solution or universal tool was found that would be appropriate for all. There is a need to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of the combined strategies across a wider population, at different stages of rehabilitation and in diverse contexts. Implications and suggestions for future related research are presented.

“…Evaluation has been defined as an act of measuring or exploring properties of an IS (in planning, development, implementation, or operation phase), the result of which informs a decision to be made concerning that system in a specific context (Ammenwerth et al 2004). This definition considers evaluations that happen at different phases of an IS lifecycle and thus help to achieve sustainability in its implementations.…”

“…higher levels of completeness, accuracy, validity, and utility of patient health records for clinical diagnoses (Hassey et al 2001;Embi et al 2004;Sek et al 2007)), providing better clinical decision support (e.g. Stewart et al 2007;Protti, 2007) and electronic prescribing (Schade et al 2006), and increasing medical practice efficiency (Ammenwerth et al 2004). Although interest in automating the health records is generally high, the literature however informs us that EHR systems do not always succeed in terms of adoption rate and/or acceptance.…”

E-Health systems include applications of information communication technologies topromote healthcare services support, delivery and education. The success of an E-Health system is very much dependent on the success of EHR systems, as EHR forms the core of any E-Health system. Readiness assessment has been identified as an essential requirement for the success of EHR in terms of adoption rate and/or acceptance. Through a literature review of current E-Health readiness frameworks, it is observed that most studied components reflect healthcare providers' and organisational perspectives but there is an inconsistent coverage of the evaluation components. Further, an unclear measure of readiness levels poses another problem for E-Health readiness assessment. This paper presents an E-Health readiness assessment framework by integrating components of each reviewed framework and quantifying constructs (a graph-based approach) within the new framework.

“…A powerful trigger event was the exploratory workshop run by Elske Ammenwerth in Innsbruck in 2003, which set the vision and created an implementation plan [2]. A major milestone was the review of progress over the following decade in the IMIA Yearbook 2013 which took EBHI as its theme [1].…”
