E-Health: A National Implementation Approach

eHealth, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), is “the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)” for health (WHO, 2006). It is evident that implementing eHealth systems, such as Electronic Health Records (EHR), mobile health, telemedicine systems, and smart hospitals (Merilampi & Sirkka, 2016), has turned to be a cornerstone of enhancing the accessibility, responsiveness and the affordability of the health services (Cebul, Love, Jain, & Hebert, 2011; De Pietro & Francetic, 2018; Oderanti & Li, 2018). In addition, proper implementation of eHealth systems can dramatically enhance and improve these services locally, regionally, and worldwide (DomínguezMayo et al., 2015).
