In the article the authors would like to find the most suitable model of delivering an IT product for elderly people designed to activate them and support their everyday activities. The article consists of a few parts. At the beginning the situation and forecasts for the population of elderly people in Poland are presented. Later the methodology of conducted research is described. In the next part the analysis of the factors influencing the activation and support of elderly people has been made. On the basis of the results of the PEST analysis key roles of stakeholders of the micro-and macroenvironment of the particular IT product are identified and their influence on the delivery model is explained. The core functions of each role are elicited and briefly described in the context of the IT product delivery model for the chosen target group.
In order to better align existing and future ICT implementations in the health domain with the strategic options defined by the National Plan for Health Development, the Ministry of Health (MoH) of Burundi initiated in 2014 the development of a national e-health enterprise architecture based on the TOGAF methodology. A first part of the development cycle consisted of a detailed analysis of regulatory documents and strategic plans related to the Burundian health system. In a second part, semi-structured interviews were organized with a representative sample of relevant MoH health structures. The study demonstrated the donor driven unequal distribution of hardware equipment over health administration components and health facilities. Internet connectivity remains problematic and few health oriented business applications found their way to the Burundian health system. Paper based instruments remain predominant in Burundi's health administration. The study also identified a series of problems introduced by the uncoordinated development of health ICT in Burundi such as the lack of standardization, data security risks, varying data quality, inadequate ICT infrastructures, an unregulated e-health sector and insufficient human capacity. The results confirm the challenging situation of the Burundian health information system but they also expose a number of bright spots that provide hope for the future: a political will to reclaim MoH leadership in the health information management domain, the readiness to develop e-health education and training programs and the opportunity to capitalize the experiences with DHIS2 deployment, results based financing monitoring and hospital information management systems implementation.
Celem artykułu było określenie wpływu czynników makrootoczenia na aktywizację cyfrową seniorów. Jako metodę badawczą zastosowano analizę PEST, która pozwoliła wskazać i zwalidować owe czynniki z makrootoczenia,. Na jej podstawie zostały wyodrębnione uwarunkowania polityczne, ekonomiczne, społeczne i technologiczne. Analiza ich wskazała, że najsilniejszy pozytywny wpływ na aktywizację seniorów ma wysoki poziom informatyzacji w Polsce (czynnik technologiczny), a najbardziej negatywny wpływ mają bariery biologiczne, psychiczne i społeczne w percepcji IT związane ze starzeniem się (czynnik społeczny). Przeprowadzone wnioskowanie pozwoliło na weryfikację potencjału rynku w Polsce dla działań dedykowanych osobom starszym. Analiza PEST stanowi bowiem dla autorów pierwszy krok w badaniach, zmierzających w dalszej części do stworzenia stanów scenariuszy otoczenia, określających pozytywny bądź negatywny wpływ na aktywizację seniorów, a w dalszej części do wykreowania szczegółowego profilu produktu IT, dedykowanego osobom starszym w Polsce.
