Some Terms Defined

Just so we’re all speaking the same language, let me suggest definitions for some terms:
Risk – the function of the likelihood that some event, positive or negative, may occur combined with the impact that would be felt if the event actually did occur.
Health – a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity [WHO definition]
eHealth – the application of information and telecommunications technologies to the delivery of health care.
eHealth Risk – the function of the likelihood that some event, positive or negative, may occur during the application of information and telecommunications technologies to the delivery of health care, combined with the impact that would be felt by patients, health care providers or healthcare organizations if the event actually did occur.
