Implementation of EHR using Digital Transformation: A study on Telemedicine

摘要

Telemedicine is regarded as one of the major innovations in health services, not only from the technological but also from the cultural and social perspectives since it benefits accessibility to health care services and improves the quality of medical care and organizational efficiency. Telemedicine has a role in providing solutions to the challenges posed by socioeconomic changes in health care systems in the 21st century (greater demands on health care, aging populations, increased mobility of citizens, the need to manage large amounts of information, global competitiveness, and improved health care provision), all in an environment of limited budgets and restrictions on spending. Nevertheless, there are significant barriers to standardizing telemedicine and for its full consolidation and expansion. This paper aims to provide solutions for the successful implementation of telemedicine services (and eHealth, in general) in the health care setting.
