Abstract
As, Scott R.E. describes in his article ‘A Business Case Approach to eHealth Sustainability’, despite best efforts, many eHealth initiatives still fail to become sustainable in the long run, even in the developed countries [3]. Reason behind these failures is the lack of consideration taken in to human factor in these projects [3]. An eHealth project should address the issues such as, lack of eHealth readiness, poor change management, etc. This project discusses the factors to be considered when implementing an eHealth application. Furthermore, the paper describes the process “HealthChange”: a change management process and the tasks carried out to make the project more successful.
