Study Details How Low Income Nations can Cross 'digital Divide' to Realize E-health's Full Potential
The report has appeared in the February 2010 issue of Health Affairs, a special issue of the journal devoted to global e-health.
Dr. Tierney, an Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Chancellor's Professor of Medicine, said: "Although business enterprises in developed nations have begun to use electronic information systems to collect, manage and communicate information, low-income nations generally lack advanced e-health tools that can help them achieve better health outcomes. In countries where per capita spending on health care barely reaches 10-US dollar per year, it is key that they get the most out of whatever they can spend,"
Dr. Tierney, also the Joseph J. Mamlin Professor of Medicine at the IU School of Medicine and executive director of the Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Improvement and Research at the Regenstrief Institute, went on: "To be most efficient and effective, health care delivery and public health needs require timely access to high-quality secure data because health care is essentially an information business. The quality and efficiency of care are directly related to the availability of timely, high-quality patient information."
