Examining e-health.

As part of its continuing mission to serve trustees and staff of health foundations and corporate giving programs, Grantmakers In Health (GIH) convened a small group of representatives from foundations, healthcare organizations, and the technology field to share their experiences and expertise on electronic health (e-health). This roundtable, held April 28, 2002, in Chicago, Illinois, highlighted emerging opportunities and challenges for foundations that wish to fund e-health initiatives. This report summarizes some of the key points from the day's discussion, providing both an introduction for grantmakers new to this area and offering the perspectives of some funders already experienced in funding e-health activities.
