Contribution of information technology (IT) system in overcoming neonatal jaundice: A systematic literature review

Abstract

Information technology systems can improve efficiency, quality of service, security and improve the quality of diagnosis, especially in the incidence of neonatal jaundice, because the incidence of jaundice that is not monitored can cause increasingly severe problems so that it can cause kernicterus and can also cause death in neonatal. This paper is focused on analyzing the contribution of information technology systems to health problems especially neonatal jaundice. The study design uses a systematic literature review with international journals in electronic databases. Journal criteria used the Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) technique from 2011-2019. This systematic literature review concludes that information technology systems have a role in health care, wherefrom several technologies have proven to be able to detect, diagnose, treatment and education that is easy, fast, effective and can be used whenever needed in overcoming the problem of neonatal jaundice. However, the use of information technology systems has not been comprehensive so that it needs development especially in areas with limited access.
