Policy Recommendation for Telemedicine Services after Covid-19 Pandemic

During Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the use of telemedicine services in Indonesia rose. Telemedicine service policies were released as an emergency condition during the pandemic. Meanwhile, the post-pandemic policies on telemedicine have never been formulated. This study aimed to construct the policy recommendation related to telemedicine services in Indonesia in the COVID-19 post-pandemic. The policy recommendations were developed after an initial analysis of user needs. The respondents were 102 telemedicine users who were over 18 years old. Results showed that most telemedicine users (61%) were worried about misdiagnosis, and others (52.9%) were worried about data security and confidentiality. The conceptual policy recommendation was developed based on the situation analysis. Multi-stakeholder cooperation across institutions such as the Indonesian Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Information Technology, the Food and Drug Administration, the Association of Health Service Facilities, professional organizations, and telemedicine startups. Such cooperation may harmonize the implementation of policies.

E-health progresses in Romania

The paper is presenting the recent evolution of e-health aspects in Romania. Data presented are based on governmental reports. Surveys organized by the "Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu and studies carried on by the national Institute for Research and Development in Informatics (I.C.I.) have shown that Romania has important health problems, from cardio vascular diseases (CVD) to cancer and infectious diseases, a high score on mortality and morbidity and a low one on natality. Poor management of the health sector did not help to solve all these problems. In the last 14 years there were several attempts to reform healthcare but none succeeded until now. The health insurance system is operational but needs still to be improved. Acknowledging the deep crisis of the health system the Prime Minister nominated a new minister of health and important changes in the health management approach are to be envisaged. One of this is the introduction of the e-procurement system for all health related goods. In spite of the crisis of the health system, e-health applications are flourishing. We can distinguish applications at national and local level and also punctual applications. The main applications refer to hospital information systems (HIS), electronic health records (EHR), e-procurement, image processing, diagnosis and treatment aids, telediagnosis, teleconsultation, education, research and domain oriented web support services. Most academic clinical hospital is now members of a web community "mednet". Unfortunately a lot of medical web sites have disappeared for lack of funds. As the health sector is in general funded from the public budget and the health crisis is deepened in the last years, the driving force in implementing e-health concepts and technologies is not the Ministry of Health but the Information Technology (IT) community, with a strong support from the Ministry of Information Technology and Communications and also from the Ministry of Education and Research, the Romanian Academy and professional non-governmental organizations. Our government has established the strategy for achieving the e-society for almost all domains but healthcare is still the Cinderella. It is expected that IT will play the role of the Fair Godmother by improving the general health status of the population through a better management of health services and better access to information and knowledge, for both major actors: the health professionals and the citizens.

Indian National Digital Library in Engineering Science and Technology (INDEST): A Proposal for Strategic Cooperation for Consortia-based Access to Electronic Resources

Cooperation amongst institutions for sharing their library resources has been practised for decades. However, the mode of cooperation has been transformed with the infusion of new information technology. The emergence of the Internet, particularly the World Wide Web (WWW) as a new information delivery medium, triggered proliferation of Web-based full-text online resources. An increasing number of publishers use the Internet globally to offer their publications to the international community of scientists and technologists. The libraries and information centres, as heavy consumers of electronic journals and online databases, will benefit greatly from this technology-driven revolution. The proliferation of electronic resources in a networked society has resulted in the development of “shared subscriptions” or “consortia-based subscriptions” to journals everywhere in the world. Shared subscriptions to electronic resources through consortia of libraries is a feasible strategy to meet the pressures such as diminishing budgets, increased user demands, and rising costs of journals. This article outlines efforts made by Indian libraries and institutions towards formation of consortia of libraries for buying access to electronic resources. The proposed strategic cooperation called the “Indian National Digital Library in Engineering Science and Technology” (INDEST) is based on five project pro-posals submitted to three major Ministries/Departments of the Government of India, namely, the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), the Ministry of Information Technology (MIT), and the Department of Biotechnology. The INDEST is proposed to function as a consortium of engineering and technological libraries for nurturing core digital collections in engineering and technology. As a consortium of libraries, the INDEST would bring together institutions receiving financial support from these three Ministries/Departments of the Government of India. While these Ministries/Departments would provide financial resources for establishing the consortium and for obtaining core electronic resources, the participating institutions would contribute for consortia-based subscriptions. The INDEST would host a variety of Web-based digital resources including those available through national and international agencies with consortia and national licences to provide access to authorized users in India.

Economics of Information Technology

The year of information technology was characterised by a hive of activity in this field, much of which was sponsored and stimulated by the IT 82 campaign. The government clearly recognised the need for British industry and commerce to capitalise on the advantages offered by information technology, and this interest in the strategy is being pursued by the relatively recently created Ministry of Information Technology. The creation of IT centres at strategic points throughout Britain aimed at providing training facilities for the 16–19 age group is an example. The centres provide training in a variety of facets of IT, including programming and micro‐electronic technical skills. The campaign generally is designed to educate the British public as to the advantages of information technology; in pursuit of this, country‐wide regional centres have been set up, which provide advice and information to potential users or users of the micro‐technology. This has been supported by exhibitions and conferences held at regular intervals throughout the length and breadth of the country. The aim of this article is to try to identify the trends in the economy which will indicate the way in which IT is developing in terms of its macro‐ and micro‐economic contributions, and to identify the human and economic problems which an organisation may encounter when contemplating investment in IT.
