They didn't check out any standards development organizations.

The CEN/ISSS eHealth Standardization Focus Group has been formed to prepare an
overview report on current and future standardization issues in the eHealth
domain. Analyzing existing standards and PAS but also policies and
specifications for regional, national, and international programs and projects,
priorities and objectives for eHealth standardization as well as existing gaps
have to be defined.
The group need to analyse the huge number of specifications provided by CEN, by
other standards developing organizations (SDOs) and related bodies such as,
e.g., ISO, IEC, ITU, IEEE, ETSI, DICOM, HL7, OASIS, W3C, UNCEFACT, IHE,
OMG/CORBA, ANSI, or ASTM, but also policy documents by projects realized within
regional, national, or even international eHealth programs.

Subject: What is eHealth: A systematic review of published definitions
The Journal of Medical Internet Research has an interesting article
about the currently available (published) definitions for eHealth
(e-Health).
That article, by Hans Oh et al., is named: What Is eHealth - A
Systematic Review of Published Definitions [1]
From the article abstract:
Context: The term eHealth is widely used by many individuals, academic
institutions, professional bodies, and funding organizations. It has
become an accepted neologism despite the lack of an agreed-upon clear or
precise definition. We believe that communication among the many
individuals and organizations that use the term could be improved by
comprehensive data about the range of meanings encompassed by the term.
Objective: To report the results of a systematic review of published,
suggested, or proposed definitions of eHealth.
Conclusions: The widespread use of the term eHealth suggests that it is
an important concept, and that there is a tacit understanding of its
meaning. This compendium of proposed definitions may improve
communication among the many individuals and organizations that use the
term.
