However, this proves to be quite tricky due to the required commitment, stress involved, and lack of time and resources.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, eHealth has the potential and resources to enhance access to healthcare and improve its quality. This, in turn, leads to an overall increase in the efficiency of various medical services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, wearables are among some of the most innovative <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealth technologies<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We can put these gadgets and accessories on our bodies, including fitness bracelets, mHealth applications, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So instead of wasting time visiting healthcare professionals in person, why not use a few apps and electronic accessories?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Is<\/b><b> an <\/b><b>eHealth Strategy?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealth is a relatively new term denoting a healthcare practice supported by electronic resources and communications. The understanding of the term varies depending on the type of development of the specific health system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, an eHealth strategy is based on the following pillars:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping patients\u2019 data secure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Linking and sharing health data for research and faster diagnoses<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strengthening the relationship between patients and healthcare providers through <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealth services\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to facilitate <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealthcare<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, there\u2019s a need for building an infrastructure for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealth services<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> using digital technologies that will allow the exchange of electronic prescriptions and secure accumulation of health data of patients between healthcare providers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the long term, the goal is to create a format for exchanging electronic health records accessible to all medical professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A decentralized digital health infrastructure facilitates specialized treatment methods, as well as cutting-edge diagnostics. It helps <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealth care<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> workers to better respond to all threats and continue further development of medical products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this scenario, data on medications, digital imaging, laboratory findings, etc., is available 24-7. These electronic health records are the backbone of the eHealth. All the patients&#8217; information is digitized and stored, with a relevant health information system deposited for each patient. This includes e-prescriptions or prescriptions for medications made through communication on the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health systems also benefit from innovative health care models using telemedicine and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mobile health<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> services to address the growing demand for health care. They are also part of the wider term eHealth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, digital services can improve the prevention and management of chronic diseases and allow patients to provide pivotal feedback to healthcare providers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now let\u2019s take a look at eHealth from a historical perspective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>History of eHealth<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1971, El Camino Hospital implemented the world\u2019s first electronic health record system. The medical information system (MIS) made this hospital the first computer-based medical centre in the world. Interestingly, the personnel used customized TV sets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ten years later, in 1981, the results showed that due to this <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealth technology<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the cost of care per case in El Camino Hospital amounted to 40% less than the average in its county, including 13 other hospitals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, the original MIS was eliminated, and a new approach, known as El Camino Hospital Online (ECHO) method, appeared. And while physicians continued to view and collect data from computer screens, just as they have done for almost four decades, they did make some enhancements. The devices enabled authorized employees to access patients&#8217; records at any time and display them on a computer screen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>eHealthcare Solutions<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telehealth is a part of telemedicine, which is a way of providing remote medical services without physical contact between the doctor and the patient, most often via telephone or video.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the setting of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/healthcareers.co\/what-is-coronavirus\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">current coronavirus pandemic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, telemedicine is a convenient way of communication between doctor and patient. Most importantly, it eliminates the need for physical visits to the doctor&#8217;s office. Also, it\u2019s cost-effective as there\u2019s no wasted time waiting in front of the doctor&#8217;s office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By using the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealth global technologies<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at their disposal, medical facilities can triage and handle emergencies in time, even outside working hours. These technologies also greatly help with the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">treatment and monitoring of diseases remotely, especially when it comes to patients with diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These patients usually do not have urgent problems. Still, they need help adjusting the doses of drugs, determining the diet and physical activity, prescribing medications that have already been prescribed once, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An additional convenience of monitoring <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">health<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-services<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is that a consultation can be scheduled when a doctor receives all the lab and instrumental results and has complete information about the patient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telemedicine has been practised for a long time. Phone conversations are also part of telemedicine. With the advancement of technology, virtual meetings between doctors and patients are increasing and becoming a possible alternative to conventional treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Is Digital Health?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital health services<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and applications are seen as a means to reduce and optimize healthcare costs and improve healthcare access. All this creates a relatively large market for services, applications, accessories, new technologies, and the development of artificial intelligence in the digital world. It&#8217;s not surprising that digital health is becoming a significant focus of all the big names in the IT industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the World Health Organization, the three main aspects of digital health <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delivery of information for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/healthcareers.co\/healthcare-statistics\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">healthcare professionals<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and consumers via the internet and telecommunication channels<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the power of information technology and e-commerce to improve public health services; for example, through the education and training of health professionals, including <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-learning for healthcare<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> workers for various <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealthcare jobs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The use of e-commerce and e-business in the management of health systems<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference between <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealth and digital health<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is subtle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealth is mostly about driving productivity, quality, and protection of data in the health system utilizing IT and enabling health care providers to do their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/healthcareers.co\/workplace-statistics\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">work more effectively through technology<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital health offers us an advantage we&#8217;ve never had before\u2014to connect with virtually every health user in the world, regardless of their socio-economic background.

It also reduces the pressure on individuals who are seeking to bridge the gap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>eHealth Guidelines<\/b><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What follows are some of the guidelines and recommendations related to eHealth in general. For one, eHealth guarantees efficiency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Enhanced Efficiency in Providing <\/b><b>eHealthcare<\/b><b> Services<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the guarantees of eHealth is to improve efficiency in health care, thus reducing costs. Increasing efficiency implies not only reducing costs but also improving the quality of services.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Improving the Quality of Care<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealth can improve healthcare quality by allowing comparisons between different service providers. The idea is also to direct patient flows to the best providers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>eHealth Information Management<\/b><b> Empowers Patients<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By making medical knowledge and personal <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealth data<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> easily accessible to internet users, eHealth opens up new possibilities for patient-centred medicine and facilitates patient-physician relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Encouraging the Patient-Physician Relationship<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealth encourages communication between patients and health experts, aiming for real cooperation in which all choices are made together, allowing for information exchange and communication between health facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Expansion of Traditional Services<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealth expands the possibility of health care beyond its conservative limits. This is understood both in a topographical and in a conceptual sense. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital health and wellness definitions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> now include facilitating consumers to get health, beauty, and wellness care online from international providers without any problems. These can range from simple tips and suggestions to more complex intermediaries or medications.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ethics in eHealth<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealth forms new ways of patient-physician communications but poses new challenges when it comes to issues such as online professional practice, informed consent, privacy, and fairness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Accessibility<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eHealth should be accessible to all people, regardless of their age, race, gender, ethnicity, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>E-Care Healthcare<\/b><b> Applications<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the help of new technologies, doctors can now monitor the condition of their patients from a distance. Various devices measure heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, etc. The results can be transferred directly to the doctor\u2019s computer for review and evaluation. If necessary, some devices can transmit this data in real-time. This is an advantageous way for the follow-up of patients with chronic diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monitoring adherence to drug therapy is another useful application of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">digital health services<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Since adherence to prescribed therapy is a crucial part of treatment, doctors can use telemedicine to track when and if a patient has taken his tablets at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is especially valid in elderly patients who sometimes forget to take their medication, which leads to a worsening of their condition. The result of implementing eHealthcare is better adherence to therapy and fewer hospitalizations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ability to share specialized information between colleagues has significantly improved the quality of medical services. Nowadays, general practitioners can easily contact narrow specialists in other cities and countries and share any problem with their patients, thanks to shared medical information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mobile technology in healthcare<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, all medical professionals have access to patient data through their smartphones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other useful applications include: facilitating the flow to the emergency departments by contacting GPs who can tell patients if they need emergency care or not; searching for a second opinion without travelling to different places to be examined several times; remote consulting during emergencies; and providing health care in remote regions, even in hard-to-reach villages and developing countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More specific telemedicine techniques play a role in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e visits in healthcare<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Some portable devices (digital stethoscope, ECG machine, pulse oximeter, ultrasound, blood pressure monitor, otoscope, dermatoscope) can record information and send it online.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What is eHealth<\/b><b> and How Does it Benefit Patients?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, tele-, digital, and mobile medicine benefit both the doctor and the patient.
