Elaborating on a definition of eHealth Literacy presented at PAHI 2014, this paper offers a discussion about the potential for actual patient involvement in decision-making on diagnosis, treatment and cure during cancer patient pathways (CPP). The hypothesis is that in order for actual decision-making to take place, the patient needs to be informed. In order to obtain relevant information, she needs several competencies and skills about eHealth since updated information about specific cancer patient pathways in Norway is mainly available on the Internet. This project examines the Information available online and discusses what eHealth Literacies are required to actually understand and operationalize the information and to make it relevant for decisionmaking about own health.
