e-Applications: A Priority for e-Applications: A Priority for DevelopmentDevelopment
Electrnic health (e-health) is : Electrnic health (e-health) is : • The ITU Plenipotentiary Conference 2010 in Guadalajara, Mexico adopted a new Resolution that calls on ITU to give priority consideration to the expansion of telecommunication/ICT initiatives for e-health. (Resolution PP-183, Guadalajara, 2010)
• A new Resolution on e-health was also adopted in 2010 at the World Telecommunication Development Conference on Improving access to healthcare services by using information and communication technologies. (Resolution WTDC-65, Hyderabad, 2010)
• A new Resolution on e-government was also adopted in 2010 at the World Telecommunication Development Conference on More effective adoption of e-government services
• (Resolution WTDC-74, Hyderabad, 2010)
Facilitating national e-health planning
3
• A “National e-Health Strategy toolkit” wasDeveloped that consists of a methodology and set of resources to guide country decision makers to develop their national e-Health strategy and roadmap.
• The toolkit will be made available March 2012
• The toolkit will be followed by rollout activities to disseminate it and to work with countries towards having a national approach to using ICT for Health.
Documenting new ICT ApplicationsM-Government
4
• Published a report with OECD on “Mobile Government for responsive governments and connected society”
• The report documents the use mobile technologies to enhance government’s performance, improve public service delivery, and engage citizens and civil society organizations in policy and decision making both in developed and developing countries,
• The report is available at: http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/cyb/app/m-gov.html .
Commission on Information and Accountability for Women and
Children’s health
5
• ITU co-vice-chaired the Commission’s on Information and Accountability for Women and Children’s health that was set up by UN SG to propose a framework for global reporting, oversight and accountability on women's and children's health.
• ITU in collaboration with WHO provided a background paper on Information and Communication Technology’s contribution to accountability for women’s and children’s health and the role that ICT could play to enhance accountability for resources and results to fulfil MDG 4 and 5. The paper is available: http://www.everywomaneverychild.org/images/content/files/accountability_commission/ICT_for_Accountability.pdf
• ITU is also involved in the implementation of the work plan set by the Commission
Facilitating e-health infrastructure planning
6
• A report entitled Scaling e-Health services in step with ICT transformation was published to provide guidance to e-Health planners on which e-Health services can be deployed immediately with available infrastructure and which additional services can be added as the infrastructure is transformed.
• The report is available at: http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/cyb/app/e-health.html
Facilitating e-health Standardization
7
• ITU’s Standardization Sector has released a Technology Watch Report that looks to the future of e-health.
• The report observes that e-health development will require more universal e-health interoperability standards, and strategies to overcome technical infrastructure barriers and address privacy, security, and other legal requirements.
• The report is available: http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/techwatch/Pages/ehealth-standards.aspx
Facilitating e-health Standardization
8
• ITU Standardization and Development sectors are planning to strengthen their work on eHealth Standardization in collaboration with WHO and other international organizations.
• Some activities are already planned such as an international workshop on eHealth Standardization to take place around next April 2012.
Wireless Broadband InitiativeWireless Broadband Initiative
9
ITU and WHO have been working together with the ICT industry on the African Health Infoway (AHI), as part of ITU’s Wireless Broadband Initiative.
WHO will coordinate the development and installation of computer systems, while ITU facilitates the deployment of infrastructure in countries in collaboration with national telecommunication carriers, and other technology partners
Expected outcomes :Expected outcomes :
Develop and deploy wireless networks
Guarantee capacity for schools and hospitals
Train local experts and build human capacity
Develop ICT Applications: e-health, e-education, e-government
Technical countries assistance
10
• Conducted a “Country Assessment and Feasibility study” in Nepal to identify potential scalable and sustainable Mobile e-Health (mHealth) services for improved health outcomes from 25th April-7th May 2011.
• 3 concept notes were proposed for possible mHealth projects
Facilitating e-health Information Sharing
11
• ITU co-organized with WHO an e-Health Pavilion during the ITU World Telecom 25-27 October 2011 where there was a very dynamic set of showcases and side talks from around the world
• The agenda and presentations are available: http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/cyb/events/2011/Telecom11/e-health/index.phtml
Facilitating e-health information sharing
12
ITU organized many events about ICT Applications:
•Forum on Health Information Systems (HIS) jointly organized by ITU, USAID, WHO, DFID, NORAD in Manila, Philippines, 13-16 June 2011, •Regional meeting on e-Health for Asia Pacific region in Tokyo, Japan that was hosted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC), 10-11 March 2011, •WSIS C7 Facilitation meeting on e-Health held on the 18th May 2011 in Geneva •Asia-Pacific Regional Forum on ICT Applications was held on 18-21 May 2011 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Remaining ChallengesRemaining Challenges
13
Problems achieving interoperable e-Health applications
Need for improved evidence of the economic and social benefits of e-Health
Many pilots for e-Health projects exist, but scalability is an issue
Improved communication between telecom and health sectors
