Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of Information Technology on E-health; specifically, the development of IT/ICT and E-health/Telemedicine in Iran. According to different research, some professionals believe that the development of IT/ICT could have the positive and direct impact on development of using E-health/Telemedicine in all health sectors that could lead to saving times and poor and disabled people can use best and complete medical facilities from far distances. On the other hand, some professionals believe that the best diagnosis is occurred when they have a face-to-face contact with patients. This paper reviews the development of IT and the effects that it could have on developing E-health and whether the development of E-health has any impact on preventing prevalence of HIV in Iran or not. For this purpose, the IT/ICT and Health indicators are investigated and e-readiness score of Iran is investigated during the past decade. This conclusion is reached that the development process of both IT/ICT and E-health are in progress, but the former is faster and more sensible, also the IT/ICT development trend has an impact on preventing prevalence of HIV but it is not so sensible.

伊朗信息技术对电子医疗的影响调查

本文研究了信息技术对电子医疗的影响;具体而言，伊朗信息技术/信息通信技术和电子保健/远程医疗的发展。根据不同的研究，一些专业人员认为，信息技术/信息通信技术的发展可以对所有卫生部门使用电子保健/远程医疗的发展产生积极和直接的影响，从而节省时间，穷人和残疾人可以在很远的地方使用最好和完整的医疗设施。另一方面，一些专业人士认为，最好的诊断是在他们与患者面对面接触时发生的。本文回顾了信息技术的发展及其对发展电子卫生保健的影响，以及电子卫生保健的发展是否对伊朗预防艾滋病毒流行有任何影响。为此目的，在过去十年中调查了信息技术/信通技术和保健指标，并调查了伊朗的电子准备情况得分。得出结论:IT/ICT和E-health的发展进程都在进行中，但前者更快，更明智，IT/ICT的发展趋势对预防HIV流行有影响，但不那么明智。
