Back to the future of IT adoption and evaluation in healthcare

Abstract

review of the current literature and upon expert panel assessments of adoption and diffusion issues, achievements to date, challenges facing key e-health technologies and future possibilities. These data are synthesised in the form of a research framework showing the main three areas of e-health (Electronic Medical Records, Clinical and Administrative systems and Telehealth) on three levels (individual, organisation and system). Current adoption and diffusion challenges and future possibilities are systematically presented via this research framework to inspire practice and research with both an individual and collective view of the key health systems currently confronting the healthcare sector.

Security of Personal Medical Data for the Redis Concept

“…Research on the quality of life of patient plays an important role in controlling the quality of medical care provided to the population. These studies are an additional tool for assessing the effectiveness of medical care based on the judgments of its main consumer, namely the patient [5,6]. In this regard, the widespread use of technologies for remote data analysis in the operational mode assumes the presence of e-health, which is often called "distributed health care", emphasizing the absence of fundamental importance of the location of patient and doctor.…”

Outcomes of public health reform – service availability in rural areas

“…culture, skills to use services, and mobility) factors (Crooks and Schuurman, 2012), which include system-based attributes of supply and subjective demand-based attributes (Wellstood et al, 2006). Those factors define the facilitating conditions of residential areas that impact the ease of access to services (Bonera, 2011;Spil et al, 2011).…”
