Reviews

Aus den Rezensionen: Der Begriff eBusiness ist eigentlich ein Dinosaurier. ! Ursula Hubner ! und Marc Elmhorst ! haben den etwas angestaubten Begriff fur das Gesundheitswesen wieder aus der Versenkung geholt. In ihrem Reader 'eBusiness in Healthcare' haben sie 13 namhafte Autoren versammelt, die sich dem Thema in einer bisher nicht erhaltlichen Breite widmen. ! Zu jedem Beitrag gibt es einen langen Executive Summary, was die Lesbarkeit stark verbessert. Am Ende stellt Ursula Hubner ihr 'funktionelles' Modell eines modernen Supply Chain Management fur das Gesundheitswesen vor ! (Gratzel, in: EHEALTHCOM, 2008, Issue 1, S. 78)

This is a high quality book and a good resource for a wide audience ... . (Diana P. Jones, Doody's Review Service, April, 2008)
