  4. Normalisation of ehealth • Processes by which technologies within a work setting become ‘normal’ practice • Interest in assessing ‘readiness’ of healthcare settings • The degree to which a community is prepared to participate and succeed in telehealth, a cognitive precursor to behavioural resistance to or support for change

  5. Normalisation Process Model • Focus on contextual readiness: state of readiness based on the interaction between individual and organisational factors affecting use of the ehealth system [rather than individuals’ intentions to use the system]

  6. Potential Interdisciplinary Research • Quantitative instrument to assess ‘readiness’ available from UK SDO research 2007-2008 • Study to assess and compare the ‘readiness’ of primary care professionals for ehealth
