Paper Abstract:
|
Rapid advances in information and communication technology (ICT) led by the Internet have opened up new areas for researches and developments. Healthcare information system (HIS) is one of such important areas which concern all of us. The implementation of e-health records and services in all countries is a challenge shared by United Nations agencies and health authorities at the international, national and local levels. This paper attempts to investigate and study two items. The first is to answer the following question: Does the impact of using the Internet for health purposes differ from the impact of other types of Internet use? The second is to consider the rapid advances in ICT afforded by Web technology for designing and implementing a Web-based e-health Record System to facilitate health care delivery during the course of referring patient transfer. Providing medical doctors with such Web-based system in diagnosing diseases will help to improve the quality of patient care and safety, reduce costs in health services, deliver equally good healthcare for everyone, anytime and anywhere. A case study prototype applied on some medical center has been implemented. Comparisons with existing techniques are included. Evaluation and practical performance results are also demonstrated. |
