Abstract
Extensive use of information and communication technology (ICT) is a significant method for addressing the difficulties that health management and medical management systems all around the world are facing, such as expanding demand, rising costs, restricted resources, and skill shortages. The healthcare industries are facing numerous issues, like preserving a medical history of a patient, maintaining a common source of information about a patient’s health history, conserving healthcare instruments, and dealing with prescription errors, to name a few. ICT clinical practice and research play an important role in identifying the root cause of severe diseases and also the prevention measures to eliminate and remove the spread of diseases everywhere rapidly. ICT has a huge amount of potential to help with rehabilitation, so it is worth looking into the proof and traces, as well as the welfares and consequences for clinical practice and research in hospitals. Background: With the increased usage of everyday information and communication technology, health professionals may be required to include technology use and proficiency into their practice. ICT has the potential to increase disability-related involvement in daily life. Design/ICT methods: We describe the key ICT-based healthcare models that have emerged in recent years as a result of ICT evolution. We examine a number of application scenarios that are gaining traction as a result of the positive influence of ICTs, guided by the scientific literature. Discussion: The extent to which e-health systems encourage the development of new sustainable service delivery models that expand capacity and provide quick, safe, effective, economical, and long-term healthcare.
