As the use of eHealth grows and diversifies globally, the concept of eHealth literacy - a foundational skill set that underpins the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for health - becomes more important than ever to understand and advance. EHealth literacy draws our collective attention to the knowledge and complex skill set that is often taken for granted when people interact with technology to address information, focusing our attention on learning and usability issues from the clinical through to population health level. Just as the field of eHealth is dynamic and evolving, so too is the context where eHealth literacy is applied and understood. The original Lily Model of eHealth literacy and scale used to assess it were developed at a time when the first generation of web tools gained prominence before the rise of social media. The rapid shifts in the informational landscape created by Web 2.0 tools and environments suggests it might be time to revisit the concept of eHealth Literacy and consider what a second release might look like.
随着电子健康在全球范围内的使用不断增长和多样化，电子健康素养这一概念——一种支撑利用信息通信技术（ICT）促进健康的基础技能组合——对于理解和推进而言变得比以往任何时候都更加重要。电子健康素养将我们的集体注意力吸引到当人们通过技术来处理信息时常常被视为理所当然的知识和复杂技能组合上，使我们将注意力集中在从临床到人群健康层面的学习和可用性问题上。正如电子健康领域是动态且不断发展的一样，电子健康素养得以应用和理解的背景也是如此。最初的电子健康素养莉莉模型及其用于评估的量表是在第一代网络工具崭露头角、社交媒体兴起之前开发的。由Web 2.0工具和环境所带来的信息格局的迅速转变表明，或许是时候重新审视电子健康素养的概念，并思考第二代版本可能会是什么样子了。
