Abstract

Health is the most important aspect for economic sustainability of a country. Bangladesh is facing a lot of challenges in quality healthcare management. The recent advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) could play vital role in improving healthcare services and reaching them to the doorstep of the marginalized people. This research aims to evaluate the present health status of the country and explores the applicability of e-Health as well as the challenges and issues of electronic healthcare development. This study has conducted a survey on patient's views and expectations toward e-Health for quality healthcare management. The survey was conducted in some selected rural and urban hospitals/clinics in the light of effective adoption of ICT in eHealth services. This research would be useful to improve the access, effectiveness and quality of health services utilized by healthcare organizations, doctors, patients, and consumers in an effort to pick up the health status of patients and to face the emergency situations in some cases. Finally, a set of guidelines has been provided to aid the implementation of a successful electronic healthcare system.
