This study introduces a systematic model to evaluate and select appropriate computer-based health information systems for developing countries. It aids decision-making for effective technology transfer and healthcare improvement.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Information Systems in Developing Countries
  • Technology Transfer

Background:

  • Computer-based technologies, including information systems and expert systems, are crucial for healthcare development in developing nations.
  • Effective implementation requires careful consideration of technology appropriateness and systematic evaluation.
  • Prior experiences in technology transfer offer valuable insights.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the appropriateness of computer-based technologies for developing countries.
  • To establish criteria for selecting technologies for transfer.
  • To introduce a systematic approach for evaluating technology transfer effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • A conceptual model for assessing transferability was developed.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of prior experiences in transferring health information systems to developing countries.
  • Application of operational research techniques, specifically the Analytic Hierarchy Process, for subjective assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • A subjective assessment model was described to guide decision-making.
    • The model systematically evaluates computer-based healthcare technology for transfer.
    • The approach aims to amplify the role of information systems in healthcare improvement and socio-economic development.

    Conclusions:

    • A systematic approach is essential for effective transfer of computer-based healthcare technologies.
    • The developed model provides a framework for informed decision-making in technology selection.
    • This research supports enhancing healthcare and socio-economic development through appropriate technology adoption.
