e-Healthcare: Harness the Power of Internet e-Commerce & e-Care is the fifth Internet book authored and edited by renown healthcare management executive, Internet expert, and "practical futurist" Douglas Goldstein.

e-Healthcare: Harness the Power of Internet e-Commerce & e-Care goes beyond theory and delivers practical, hands-on e-advice for healthcare executives and doctors. It delivers a strategic framework and invaluable tips for planning and launching true e-services-not just marketing- focused Web sites.

Douglas Goldstein guides, educates, and energizes readers with e-Predictions, e-Trends, and practical e-strategies that meet customer needs. Discussion about the rise of the empowered "e-patient" and the significant shift from traditional care delivery to "e-care" provides readers critical insight that can be applied to their own organizations.

Other industry leaders offer expertise and e-advice as well. Multi-media developers Neal Sofian and Dan Newton discuss the new generation of disease and demand management and e-care support. Practice management experts Karen Zupko and Cheryl Toth evaluate the way the Web has changed the physician-patient relationship, and how physicians can successfully integrate Web technology into their practices.
