When speaking about eBusiness as applied to the healthcare market two questions arise immediately. Firstly, what is eBusiness? Secondly, why is eBusiness in healthcare different from eBusiness in other sectors? In this module we shall give an overview of the foundations of eBusiness, explain the importance of eBusiness within the healthcare domain and describe the peculiarities of the healthcare market. It is the goal of this module to raise the awareness of and interest in electronically mediated business processes in healthcare, in particular eProcurement and in a wide sense electronic supply chain management.
