Lessons Learned From a Living Lab on the Broad Adoption of eHealth in Primary Health Care.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Electronic health (eHealth) solutions are considered to relieve current and future pressure on the sustainability of primary health care systems. However, evidence of the effectiveness of eHealth in daily practice is missing.
