| Use of ICT for health
May 25, 2005 the 58th World Health Assembly,
adopted by the WHO recognizing eHealth as the cost-effective way using ICT in the health care service, health surveillance, health literature, health education and research. | ehealth |
| Extensive capabilities of eHealth: 1 | Communicating with a patient through a teleconference, electronic mail (email), short message service |
| Extensive capabilities of eHealth: 2 | Providing patient teaching with aid of electronic tools such as radio, television, computers, smartphones, and tablets. |
| Extensive capabilities of eHealth: 3 | recording, retrieving, and mining data in an electronic medical record |
| According to WHO, ehealth encompasses three main areas: 1 | The delivery of the health information, for health professionals and health consumers, through the internet and communications. |
| According to WHO, ehealth encompasses three main areas: 2 | Using the power of information technology and e-commerce to improve public health services.

| Health case system builds heavily on: | accurate recording of obtained data |
| True or False: Paper based methods may bring inconvenience when it comes on interoperability of health services, information backup and instant data access. Problems may also emerge. | true |
| Paper based methods may bring inconvenience when it comes on interoperability of health services, information backup and instant data access. Problems may also emerge, such as: 1 | Continuity and interoperability of care stops in the unlikely event that a record gets misplaced. |
| Paper based methods may bring inconvenience when it comes on interoperability of health services, information backup and instant data access. Problems may also emerge, such as: 2 | Illegible handwriting poses misinterpretation of data. |
| Paper based methods may bring inconvenience when it comes on interoperability of health services, information backup and instant data access. Problems may also emerge, such as: 3 | Patient privacy is compromised |
| Paper based methods may bring inconvenience when it comes on interoperability of health services, information backup and instant data access. Problems may also emerge, such as: 4 | Data are difficult to aggregate |
| Paper based methods may bring inconvenience when it comes on interoperability of health services, information backup and instant data access. Problems may also emerge, such as: 5 | Actual time for patient care gets limited. |
| Internal and external changes affecting health care informatics: 1 | The ability to manipulate large amounts of data. |
| Internal and external changes affecting health care informatics: 2 | The ability to relate data to cohorts of people who shares similar health problems |
| Internal and external changes affecting health care informatics: 3 | The ability to link to genomic data. |
