The first part of the MIE 2008 conference theme 'eHealth Beyond the Horizon' highlights the expectations for the future of eHealth and raises the question: What sort of developments in eHealth services can we imagine emerging above the horizon in the years to come? We have received a good number of high quality papers giving different perspectives of this future, some of them already available today in pilot scale, some of them outlined in visions. The second part of the theme 'Get IT there' has triggered a large number of papers describing how to create, evaluate, adjust and deliver products and deploy services in health care organizations for the necessary information technology as a basis for the eHealth applications that are essential in order to respond to the challenges of the health systems.
