Complexities

idea posted by Ratnakar Naik General Practitioner, Apollo Group

I believe this is the main reason, the healthcare sector makes minimum use of IT services because of its complexities.And even IT is subject to rapid change and usually the upgradation costs are quite high. In order to attain the goal of implementing ehealth services, IT and healthcare sector must go hand in hand. IT and healthcare industries going hand-in-hand will help equip the healthcare industry with much newer and upgraded technology. Making the healthcare-related software user-friendly would encourage the healthcare industry on the whole to go hi-tech.

Too expensive

idea posted by Dayanand Deshpande Senior Consultant, Ernst & Young

I have observed that low adoption rates of technologies and digital solutions in healthcare tend to be chiefly because of three reasons,

1) Technology is perceived as too hard to use or less than reliable in terms of uptime and connectivity;

2) It doesn't fit in well with workflow in healthcare environments;

3) It is too expensive to use and there is no clear return on investment (ROI) or way to measure ROI.
