Lernziele health care in all its domains, including clinical care, public health and disease preventions, relies on sound decision making that guides the identification, selection and implementation of effective, life-saving interventions. Decision-making has to be informed by the best available evidence about the effects of interventions, as well as acceptability and implementation issues. Digital Health –the application of information and communication technology to health– has a major role in strengthening health systems around the world, including in low and middle income countries. Governments, NGOs and donors are increasingly resorting to Digital Health to improve access and quality of health information, enhance healthcare processes, achieve better quality of care and improve patient outcomes.
Despite all the potential, the many implications of Digital Health/ eHealth (from the clinical, legal, technological or social points of view, to name a few) often contribute to making initiatives in this domain complex and challenging endeavors. On the other hand, health systems are increasingly dependent on eHealth, despite the widely acknowledged gaps in the evidence-base behind it. That is why it is crucial nowadays that decision-makers in the health domain have a comprehensive understanding of eHealth – what it is, what are its implications, benefits or barriers, what are the best practices – so that interventions in the field can make the best use of such technologies to improve the health status of populations.
