Healthcare IT

Planning ahead

This paper explores the current state and use of IT within healthcare organisations across Asia Pacific, and the strategic value given to electronic record management (ERM) as they are moving into the future. It highlights the efforts that public sector health organisations in the region place on converting paper forms into digital formats, the move toward greater automation and the improvements this is likely to bring to improving patient care and workflow.

In Planning Ahead – Is Asia’s Healthcare Sector Ready for the Future?, researchers sought responses from public sector IT Executives in The People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, The Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea and Taiwan. The survey attracted 169 complete responses in total.
