Article Synopsis
- - The paper highlights the importance of involving users and stakeholders in eHealth technology development to ensure that it meets their needs, emphasizing the role of business modeling in guiding implementation research.
- - It outlines a four-step approach to business modeling, including stakeholder identification, stakeholder analysis, value co-creation dialogs, and business model generation, using the case study of Infectionmanager for practical illustration.
- - The resulting step-by-step guide serves as a valuable resource for eHealth researchers aiming to effectively implement eHealth technologies by integrating stakeholder perspectives throughout the process.
Evaluation of early implementations of antibiotic stewardship program initiatives in nine Dutch hospitals.
Antimicrob Resist Infect Control
November 2014
Background: Antibiotic resistance is a global threat to patient safety and care. In response, hospitals start antibiotic stewardship programs to optimise antibiotic use. Expert-based guidelines recommend strategies to implement such programs, but local implementations may differ per hospital.

BMC Med Inform Decis Mak
June 2014
Background: Antimicrobial resistance poses a threat to patient safety worldwide. To stop antimicrobial resistance, Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs (ASPs; programs for optimizing antimicrobial use), need to be implemented. Within these programs, nurses are important actors, as they put antimicrobial treatment into effect.

Current frameworks for eHealth development suffer from a lack of fitting infrastructures, inability to find funding, complications with scalability, and uncertainties regarding effectiveness and sustainability. These issues can be addressed by defining a better implementation strategy early in the development of eHealth technologies.

One of the reasons for this is that the current development of eHealth technology often disregards the interdependencies between technology, human characteristics, and the socioeconomic environment, resulting in technology that has a low impact in health care practices. To overcome the hurdles with eHealth design and implementation, a new, holistic approach to the development of eHealth technologies is needed, one that takes into account the complexity of health care and the rituals and habits of patients and other stakeholders.
