Discussion of system fragmentation and its consequences.

Main Results:

The Danish healthcare system exhibits significant eHealth system fragmentation.
Fragmentation limits the effectiveness of eHealth in delivering quality care.
Despite widespread adoption, eHealth has not reached its full potential.
