Abstract

Public Health and Health Services Information Systems electronic health feasibility study priority study analytical hierarchy process
Electronic Health services are ambiguous when viewed from a technological point of view: on the one hand (technological) innovation is abundant in diagnostic, surgical and monitoring equipment. On the other hand the organization of healthcare is traditionally focused on providing medical services within institutions which are run in a fairly bureaucratic manner. Information technology application on an institutional level is usually focused on administrative applications with a more traditional and conservative outlook on innovation. But for putting "e" in health services needs the essential methods to provide the all requirements of health system stake holders. In developing e-health system, Firstly, through the analyzing e-heath system, situation in countries without IT industry, six main participating parts are identified and for each, several problems are determined by considering PIECES framework. Secondly, by statistical analyzing, the importance and intensity of each problem are surveyed. After suggesting eleven e-health services, we also have defined several enhancing and restricting parameters and collected their statistical data. Service feasibility identification is made through considering the effect of enhancing and restricting parameters on it. Finally, applying AHP method for our two-criteria problem, the priority of feasible services was set.
