eHealth Strategy Worshop for Southern Africa, Swaziland The workshop, organised by the Commonwealth Secretariat and supported by the AU Commission and the Kingdom of Swaziland, was completed on 25 June 2011. Seven countries attended. A valuable finding is that there are three different types of e-health strategy that countries need to adopt. The specifics for each country can then be assembled. More is on the Commonwealth page.
IST-Africa Conference 2011 eHealth for African Countries - Sustainable Strategies Sustainability means small-scale, affordable and related eHealth projects fitting a longer-term eHealth strategy. Indicative, initial estimates for short-term affordable eHealth investment in African countries may be up to $2 per head of population each year, depending on their economies. These levels are demanding to secure for most African countries, and need supplementing with effective collaboration with developing countries that expands capacity and capability. www.ist-africa.org/conference2011/

"Because e-health is a core resource for healthcare systems, every country needs good policies, strategies and plans, both for information and communication technology (ICT), and for the associated organizational changes that support improved health and healthcare. E-health is this combination of ICT and organizational change.This book will help health system decision-makers identify key policy issues." http://www.ehealth-forum.com/ehealth-strategies

Procuring eHealth The EC's project on procuring eHealth started on 1 February 2011.
The impact of eHealth and mHealth on the UN's Millennium Development Goals (MDG) is under review. A workshop with WHO, Health Metrics Network, International Telecommunications Union, the mHealth Alliance and Digital He@lth Initiative of the UN's Office for Partneships was on 6 and 7 September and reported to the UN. The Broadband Commission recommends that every vountry should have a National Broadband Plan.
Is the Digital Health Initiative (DHI) the new term for eHealth and mHealth?
The Commonwealth Secretariat's third high-level dialogue on eHealth was for Asia in Sri Lanka on 13 and 14 September 2010.
eHealth Strategies in Developing Countries The first Kenya eHelath Strategy has now been completed. It took a team of healthcare professionals, senior civil servants, ICT vendors some and support from the Commonwealth Secretarat some five months in 2009. The Maldives finished their draft eHealth strategy in April 2010. Excellent commentaries by Danny Mustacchi on sharing medical information and business intellegence are at http://inteliprojects.com
EC report on the economic impact of interoperable EHRs and ePrescribing Now available at www.ehr-impact.eu EC report Financing eHealth Now available at http://www.financing-ehealth.eu/downloads/documents/FeH_D5_3_final_study_report.pdf TanJent's report on EC's workshop in on procuring benefits for telemedicine is now available. The workshop was at the WOHIT08 conference in
The report is titled "WHIT08 - EC Workshop Procuring for health benefits: Critical Factors for Beneficial Deployment of Innovative eHealth and Telemedicine Services" was prepared by TanJent with empirica. TanJent supported the Diretoria de Desenvolvimento Setorial (DIDES) of the Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar (ANS) in its economic and financial evaluation of TISS, the standards and system that supports the exchange of supplementary health information in Brazil. The project is supported by the United Nations Development Programme. More details are on the project page. The preliminary report of the economic evaluation is now complete and will be available from the ANS website soon. The address is www.ans.gov.br . The report will be availble in Engliah and Portuguese. Findings show the value of a national project that has relatively low costs when the solution is available for large populations such as the 40 million insured oversseen by ANS. A copy of the report can also be obtained from tomjones@tanjent.co.uk Portugese speakers may want to read Troca de dados conusmirá R$11 bilhões by Beth Kolke in Valor on Segunda-feira 8 de septembro de 2008.
TanJent works with empirica in Germany to develop the methodology and knowledge of eHealth economics, especially costs, benefits and net benefits over time. It includes eHealth financing and options for business models for eHealth, which is especially important because eHealth boundaries are expanding as new suppliers enter the eHealth market with new concepts of eHealth. TanJent’s main goal is evaluating, achieving and improving the financial and socio-ecomomic performance of eHealth and ICT-enabled healthcare. It builds on the general activities of developing and using economic and costing models to evaluate and improve the performance of health and social care providers, and the cost and benefit estimates of business cases and strategies within the eHealth community.
TanJent is involved with projects using economic models, such as cost-benefit analysis, and financing models evaluate to innovative health services and technologies, especially eHealth. The models enable ICT in healthcare, organisational change, eHealth cost profiles, eHealth benefit profiles, and the timing of these, of the estimated and valued. They can then be used for future decisions about eHealth financing, benefits realisation, health and healthcare quality gains,cost-effectiveness and efficiency gains. It also enables realistic decisions about eHealth, sometimes called ICT and organisational change, or ICT-enabled change, to advance realistically. This can be even more critical for developing countries where healthcare resources and finance are scarce.
Financing eHealth was the EC's DG INFSO Project of the Month for May 2008. A commentary is at http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/newsroom/cf/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=4062 The website for the EC's study on boosting finance for eHealth is at http://www.financing-ehealth.eu/
TanJent has now evaluated the utilisation, benefits, costs and risks of 53 eHealth investments from across the EU, South America and Kenya. Of these:
These findings are from 62% reotrospective projects and 39% prospective projects.
