Health and eHealth Health and eHealth

Health and eHealth are inseparable due to the fact that health is an information intensive sector. Health is a global concern that is trans-border by definition and g y affects the world population. Information technology and telecommunications (ICT) is a global Information technology and telecommunications (ICT) is a global issue especially with the emergence of the knowledge economy and the information society. This has required WHO to adopt global approaches to eHealth.

WHO's Response WHO's Response p

Adoption of the World Health Assembly Resolution on eHealth (WHA58.21) i 2005 b WHO M b St t in 2005 by WHO Member States The eHealth resolution gave legitimacy to the concept itself but also defined: defined:

– the scope of eHealth – the potential stakeholders – the role of governments and the private sector the role of governments and the private sector – the need for legal, ethical and regulatory frameworks for its implementation

Catalyzed recognition of the role of eHealth in:

– strengthening health systems – improving health services – reaching out to remote communities – enhancing the capacity of health workforce – health promotion

Standardization and Systems Interoperability Challenges Standardization and Systems Interoperability Challenges Challenges Challenges

  • Fragmented efforts to develop eHealth applications in

the absence of adequate governance, standards and national plans resulted in development of eHealth national plans resulted in development of eHealth systems that cannot exchange data. Th t i l t d l d

  • These systems are mainly standalone and

disintegrated, lacking unified coding schemes, following different or no standards which resulted in following different or no standards which resulted in total lack of interoperability between them.
