It has become an accepted neologism despite the lack of an agreed-upon clear or precise definition.

To establish areas of congruence among contributors to the early development, evaluation, and dissemination of eHealth applications. The use of normalization process theory as a conceptual framework revealed that relatively little attention was paid to (1) work directed at making sense of e-health systems, specifying their purposes and benefits, establishing their value to users, and planning their implementation; (2) factors promoting or inhibiting engagement and participation; (3) effects on roles and responsibilities; (4) risk management, and (5) ways in which implementation processes might be reconfigured by user-produced knowledge.
