Standardisation is increasingly being seen as a means to ensure the interoperability of e-health systems. However, several e-health standards are being published, many of them without implementation guidelines. This paper describes a proposed method that could guide the selection of e-health standards (particularly for developing countries) to support the interoperability of e-health systems.enE-healthHealthcare information systemsE-health systemsHealthcare professionalsImplementation guidelinesE-health standardsConference PresentationAdebesin, F., Kotzé, P., Ritz, D., Foster, R., & Van Greunen, D.
