E-health (information and communication technology that facilitates health and health care) is expanding in developed, developing, and least-developed countries. E-health's ability to transcend sociopolitical boundaries holds the potential to create a borderless world for health systems and health care delivery. But the policy needed to guide e-health development is limited and just now emerging in developed countries. What's needed to foster e-health growth in the developing world is thoughtful policy to facilitate patient mobility and data exchange, across both international borders and regional boundaries within countries.
电子健康(促进健康和医疗保健的信息和通信技术)正在发达国家、发展中国家和最不发达国家中不断扩展。电子健康跨越社会政治界限的能力有可能为卫生系统和医疗服务提供创造一个无边界的世界。但是,指导电子健康发展的政策有限,目前才刚刚在发达国家出现。在发展中国家促进电子健康发展需要有深思熟虑的政策,以促进患者的流动和数据的交换,跨越国际边界和国家内部的地区边界。
