The application of ICT also allows the adoption of telemedicine, which involves remote doctor consultations via telephone or video conference telecommunications technology. Telemedicine allows easier access to medical services, especially for those who live in remote areas or have limited mobility. This helps speed up the health service process and increase efficiency in handling health cases.
In addition to benefits for patients, the application of ICT also provides benefits for health care providers. Hospital management information systems help manage day-to-day hospital operations, while online platforms provide health education resources for patients. Collaboration between health professionals is also improved through the communication facilities provided by ICT.
With the application of ICT, the benefits are felt not only by patients but also by health service providers. Hospital management information systems help in managing day-to-day operations, while online platforms provide health education resources for patients. Collaboration between health workers also becomes better through the communication facilities provided by ICT.
