Health IT Cancer Resource Guide | eHealth Initiative

eHealth Initiative (eHI) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to drive improvement in the quality, safety, and efficiency of healthcare through information and technology. We believe that advances in medical technology, such as electronic health records, patient portals, mobile health applications, and telemedicine, have the potential to fundamentally transform healthcare for patients. To this end, eHealth Initiative is dedicated to identifying, researching, and sharing innovative uses of health information technology with healthcare providers, hospitals and health systems, insurance companies, patients, and other members of the healthcare system at large. In 2012, eHI brought together leading experts on health IT and cancer care as a National Council on Cancer and Technology. The group met frequently to identify, discuss, share, and learn about the ways health IT can be used to improve cancer care. The Council created the following guide to the types of tools and technologies that patients and their families, caregivers, and support networks can use to make understanding, treating, and coping with cancer a little bit easier....
