e-Health Strategy

e-Health is the combined use of electronic communication and information technology in the health sector. (WHO definition)
In some definitions, eHealth is the use of ICT to:
Enable telehealth
Pre-authorize, accept claims for, and generate payments for health services
Enable governance for health professions, including licensing, qualifications management, oversight, audits and trend detection
Enable or enforce best practices, cost containment, demand management and overall health system performance management
Enable optimized use of human resources, facilities and equipment
Gather and analyze the data needed for research (health analytics)
Enable training / skills assessment / skills upgrading
Provide interoperable, patient centric health records, available at any point of care, to authorized users
We will work together to:
Validate the vision for eHealth for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Plan and prioritize the first five years eHealth projects, and define the benefits that they will deliver
