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.
We, as society, are facing great challenges for our health systems. Our national health systems will have to treat proportionately more people due to the change in age distribution, with more illnesses, higher expectations, and more expensive technologies based on the biomedical scientific progress, but using proportionally less money and fewer workers.

Abstract
Background
To test seven different strategies for recruitment in a randomized controlled trial, to report documented response data from each strategy, and to discuss recruitment challenges.
Methods
We used 5 opt-in (potential participants have to do something active to contact or be contacted by the researcher) and 2 opt-out (potential participants have the option to decline being contacted about a study) recruitment strategies from February 2013 until July 2014 to contact 1562 cancer patient candidates for participation in a randomized controlled trial. For each of these cancer patients a caregiver was also invited to take part in the study.
Results
Of the 1562 candidates, 22.6 % were ineligible on initial contact, 56.7 % declined to participate on initial contact, and 8.9 % agreed orally to participate but did not complete the enrollment. The 2 opt-out strategies, on-site recruitment and routine care letters recruitment, yielded the highest number of recruited participants with 79 dyads and 58 dyads respectively, constituting 42.7 % and 31.4 % of the total number of enrolled candidates. The 5 opt-in recruitment approaches yielded 49 dyads for the study. Almost half of these dyads were recruited using the approach termed “relying on providers at the hospital.”
