Use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) for health services, including surveillance, literature, education, and research.

Cost-effective way to use ICT in health, improving communication, data management, education, and research.

eHealth is a broader term encompassing all use of technology in healthcare, while telehealth/telemedicine focuses on remote delivery of care.

Providing health information to professionals and consumers via internet and telecommunications.

Improving public health using IT and e-commerce, such as training healthcare workers.

Utilizing e-commerce and e-business practices within healthcare organizations.

Improving healthcare speed and reducing cost by minimizing redundant interventions, and enhancing communication.

Improving health outcomes and value through enhanced efficiency and effectiveness in healthcare.

E-health interventions should be supported by scientific evidence demonstrating their effectiveness and efficiency. Rigorous evaluation is crucial before implementing e-health solutions.

E-health empowers patients by providing online access to medical knowledge and personal health records. This fosters informed decision-making and patient-centered care.

E-health encourages a collaborative relationship between patients and healthcare professionals. Shared decision-making based on information and mutual understanding is emphasized.

E-health provides educational resources for both physicians and consumers. Online platforms facilitate continuing medical education for doctors and health education for patients.

E-health enables standardized communication and data sharing among healthcare institutions. This ensures efficient information flow between facilities.

The gap in access to healthcare technology between different groups like rural vs. urban, rich vs. poor, young vs. old, and those with common vs. rare diseases.

eHealth tools should be simple and intuitive for everyone to understand and use effectively.

E-health extends healthcare beyond geographical boundaries. Consumers can access online services from global providers, ranging from basic advice to complex interventions.

E-health poses new ethical challenges, including online professional practice, informed consent, privacy protection, and equitable access.

eHealth tools should be entertaining and exciting to keep people interested and motivated to use them.

E-health has the potential to equalize access to healthcare. However, it also risks increasing the gap between those with and without access to technology. Ensuring equitable access is crucial.

Traditional paper records are challenging to share between different healthcare providers, leading to potential data loss and inconsistent care.

Handwritten notes on paper records can be hard to read, leading to medical errors and misinterpretations.

Traditional paper records are vulnerable to unauthorized access, potentially exposing sensitive patient information.

Collecting and analyzing information from paper records is time-consuming, hindering effective health program development and monitoring.

eHealth allows for real-time data analysis, enabling healthcare providers to tailor interventions and health programs to individual needs.

A system that enables secure sharing of health data between healthcare providers across different facilities in the Philippines.

To improve the quality and coordination of healthcare by integrating health information across the country.

The ability of different health systems and applications to communicate and exchange health information seamlessly.

PHIE consists of six interconnected parts: Client Registry, Provider Registry, Health Facility Registry, Standards Terminology Service, Shared Health Record, and Security and Privacy.

Manages unique identification of patients receiving healthcare services.

Manages unique identification of healthcare providers.

Manages unique identification of places where health services are delivered.

Manages the standard language and format used for health data.

Systems should enable easy retrieval and recovery of patient information, even in emergencies. This is achieved through automatic backups in secure servers.

Avoid repeating the same information multiple times. Unique identifying information (name, birthday, etc.) is recorded only once and linked automatically through a database, simplifying data management.

Having quality data stored in databases speeds up research by providing readily accessible information, leading to faster health innovations and interventions.

EMRs make patient information readily available, reducing the need for paper charts and lowering costs related to chart pulls and transcription.

Documentation should accurately reflect events as they happened. Electronic systems can automatically check data validity and alert users to potential errors.

Electronic systems enforce specific data formats (e.g., date format mm-dd-yyyy). This ensures consistency and reduces errors.

Data should be easily accessible to patients and healthcare staff when needed. This includes readily available reports and statistics for decision-making.

Every piece of important information should be recorded in the system for a complete picture of the patient's health.

Using technology to deliver healthcare services across distances, connecting patients and providers in different locations.

To provide clinical support and overcome geographical barriers, improving health outcomes.

Using electronic tools for healthcare teaching and learning, like online courses or interactive simulations.

Improving access to healthcare in remote areas, providing specialist consultations, and supporting ongoing care.

Accurate and comprehensive EMRs provide reliable data for vital statistics like mortality and morbidity rates.

eLearning facilitates health education by providing access to information and training materials electronically.

eLearning can be done 'synchronously' (real-time) or 'asynchronously' (flexible timing).

eLearning empowers patients by providing access to health information and supports healthcare professionals' continuous learning.
