Description

In order to improve the quality of service delivery to the public, to encourage interactive communications between government and citizens or government and business, and to address development challenges in any given society, information and electronic governance is the sophisticated fusion of a wide range of information and communication technologies with non-technological measures and resources. Digital technology advancements over the past ten years have made it possible to quickly advance data gathering, analysis, display, and application for bettering health outcomes. Digital health is the study and practice of all facets of using digital technologies to improve ones health, from conception through implementation. Digital health strategies seek to improve the data that is already accessible and encourage its usage in decision-making. Digital patient records that are updated in real-time are known as electronic health records (EHRs). An electronic health record (EHR) is a detailed account of someones general health. Electronic health records (EHRs) make it easier to make better healthcare decisions, track a patients clinical development, and deliver evidence-based care. This concept paper is based on secondary data that was collected from a variety of national and international periodicals, official records, and public and private websites. This paper presents a review of advancements for scaling digital health within Indias overall preparedness for pandemics and the use of contact tracing applications in measuring response efforts to counter the impact of the pandemic. The paper provides information about the government of Indias EHR implementation and initiatives taken toward the establishment of a system of e-governance. The document also covers the advantages of keeping EHR for improved outreach and health care. Further, this paper discusses in depth the effectiveness of using contact tracing applications in enhancing digital health.
