Abstract
eHealth Home Care Applications: The demand for patient-centric services that delivers improved patient
outcomes in health care is steadily increasing. The challenge of health care
organizations is how to meet the growing demand for consumerism in a
fiscally responsible manner. In January 2003, a team of individuals from
Grand River Hospital was involved in the development of a prototype web
based patient application that would leverage the use of HIS systems in our
organization. Two surveys have been conducted to evaluate the functionality
and content of the application. All participants stated they found the
application easy to navigate and to read. The unique functionality of this
portal has widespread application in healthcare. We look forward to expanding
the scope of the project to include additional cancer diagnosis as well as other
long term disease management entities.
