Over the next decade, developing countries
will need to spend billions on healthcare
infrastructure and services. Advancements
in technology must be considered with these
investments. Where urgent needs prevail
in emerging markets with limited access to
healthcare, the learnings from costly EHR
implementations in development markets must
be considered to determine a more affordable
path forward. Similarly to how wireless
solutions have allowed developing countries to
leapfrog fixed line infrastructure investments
for broadband access, emerging markets need to
consider innovative EHR solutions that will allow
them to leap towards improved healthcare that is
more affordable.
