Summary: Out of date solutions.
Comment: The networking solutions provided by these authors very clearly illustrate the public sector's misuse and misunderstanding of information production, delivery, and presentation technologies.

The focus of most contributors is on technologies and concepts that were even out of date at the time of publication. There is little or no mention of data driven, decision support using spatial analysis of community specific health needs, or data and information preparation for community health analysis. In short, the book takes a, largely, traditional public sector IT approach to community health networks, which does not usually focus answering the questions of -- what information is needed, how will the information be used, how and to whom should the information be delivered, how will data be organized (architected) so that community health assets can be compared, ... and so on.
