Abstract
Introduction: Digital health platform (DHP) is a common digital health information infrastructure ('infostructure ') that digital health applications and systems are built upon in order to deliver digital health services for supporting healthcare delivery in a consistent and integrated manner.
Methods: We reviewed the World Health Organization (WHO) Handbook in the context of Ministry of Health (MOH) Digitalization Strategic Plan 2021-2025 implementation programs. The digital maturity of the country is analysed using variety of planning tools, for effectively to begin the national enterprise planning process and to understand the enabling environment for digital health.
Result: DHP ties applications together through a standards-based infostructure that consists of an integrated set of common and reusable components. Usage of common components will streamline country 's digital health system and makes the investments more cost effective. Information exchange improved across country health system by focusing on interoperability amongst all of the digital health applications used by patients and facilities alike. Discussion: Implementing a DHP for the country is a key way to facilitate standards and interoperability in digital health ecosystem. MOH is going to implement DHP for the country through Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Project. Development of Health Information Exchange (HIE) as digital platform for health sector will be the foundation for common infostructure on which digital health applications are built to support consistent and efficient healthcare delivery.
