Electronic-health in Saudi Arabia: A review

Abstract

Different nations across the world are attempting to embrace e-health as a platform for transforming healthcare delivery. This review focuses on the state of e-health in KSA, including studies on trends and current technologies employed in e-health. It has been determined in this paper that even though e-health is being implemented in Saudi Arabia, the rate of implementation is quite slow, and it seems to lag behind the rate that was desired and envisioned. Additionally, some challenges hinder the adoption and effective implementation of e-health, including lack of awareness, lack of talented workforce, and ineffective planning. It has been determined that if these challenges are overcome, then e-health can be adapted efficiently.
