Healthcare information systems and their development has risen to be an issue discussed widely amongst Finnish media and public. The discussion varies from the many faults in design, functionality, usability and the enormous costs these systems produce to the citizens as well as how to best fix these problems. Yet it seems that common terminology with eHealth systems in the discussion is lacking rendering the quality of the discussion far from where it could be. Hence this paper will focus on the issue of terminology-based problems in Finnish public eHealth development discussion.
