This article focused on “Practical aspects of the electronic system functioning in the field of medicine of the future in Pakistan” Aims: To explore the practical aspects of the electronic systems functioning in the field of medicine of the future, the challenges and opportunities of implementing these systems, and the potential solutions for optimising and enhancing their impact on outcomes in Pakistan. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used. A sample of 323 was selected through non-random convenient method. Data collected through interview. Chi square test was applied.

When it came to CDS Systems, 64.2% of the more experienced group were using the system, while 35.8% were not. In addition, 71.2% of the more experienced group were practicing Digital Medical Imaging. During the COVID-19 pandemic, all medical institutes taught, assigned tasks, and evaluated students through online mechanisms. However, after the pandemic, 100% of the institutes returned to traditional teaching methods. Interestingly, 60% of the participants favoured online education, considering it an easier, more effective and efficient way of learning. Scientific Novelty: Examines Pakistan's computerised healthcare system and its impacts. Conclusion: Improved infrastructure, healthcare education, patient computer literacy, privacy and data security rules may have the largest impact on healthcare outcomes. An international help is needed to reach global electronic health care standards. Note: Review paper may have different types of subsections.
