Abstract

The E-healthcare operating environment is defined as a cybernetic medical setting where healthcare or medical information is processed, manipulated, transmitted, or distributed in electronic forms via computer-based systems, networks, or the Internet. E-technology has changed healthcare in the management of how care is delivered and in the transformation of the infrastructure that supports the healthcare delivery system.1 The traditional paradigm of the healthcare industry is challenged by the new paradigm of E-commerce and E-healthcare in the 21st century. The healthcare industry is undergoing a fundamental shift that will change consumer, patient, and healthcare professional behavior and interaction.2,3 During the E-revolution in the healthcare industry, technical barriers in telecommunication security and privacy must first be overcome.24 Healthcare organizations and their computer systems are required to ensure that the privacy and security of individually identifiable healthcare information are maintained. © 2001 Taylor & Francis.
