“…The red cluster represents the technology for healthcare and disease management. Scholars associated with this school of thought investigated the factors related to the adoption and management of computer science and technology for health, physical activities, and disease management [64][65][66][67][68][69]. This is the biggest cluster, and many top co-cited authors (such as Li, Y.C., Lee, J.Y., Lee, S.H., Wang, Y., Wang, J., Wang, W., Zhang, Y., Zhang, J., Li, H., and Li, J.)…”

eHealth or digital health innovations expanded tremendously during the COVID-19 pandemic. Innovation and digitalization offer creative solutions to build up a healthy society. The eHealth technologies are quickly taken up by Southeast Asia countries and continue to flourish to alleviate the burden of healthcare challenges. This study is the first review exploring and analyzing the whole literature of eHealth, specifically in the Southeast Asia region. The objective of this study is to document the size, growth trajectory, and geographical distribution of eHealth in Southeast Asia research, identify high-impact authors and documents, explore the intellectual knowledge structure, and analyze the topical trends of the field. The bibliometric analysis was used to analyze a data set of 1405 Scopus-indexed documents between 1976 and 2021. Descriptive analysis, citation, co-citation, and keyword co-occurrence analyses were conducted to gain insights into eHealth in the Southeast Asia knowledge base. The growth rate of literature has rocketed up since 2018, reflecting the significant increase in demand for eHealth in Southeast Asia. Among the eleven Southeast Asian countries, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand were the top four countries where the most eHealth-related research was conducted. The intellectual structure of eHealth in Southeast Asia literature comprises four schools of thought (i.e., four groups of similar theoretical perspectives and research interests): (1) analysis and adoption of hospital information system/eHealth records, (2) user intention and acceptance of information technology, (3) technology for healthcare and disease management, and (4) mobile health technology (m-Health). Mobile applications, social networks, the COVID-19 pandemic, patient referral, follow-up, self-care, quality of life, psychology, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension are the recent emerging research themes in the field of study. The eHealth development should consider long-term sustainable management along with the rapid evolution of the field. Additionally, eHealth systems should be holistic and pay attention to technology adoption, data security, and ethical issues involved in medical practices. This bibliometric review delivers reference points for scholars interested in Southeast Asia eHealth, reveals the emerging intellectual structure of this interdisciplinary field, and provides guidance to future research on this domain.

“…Although there is no regional disparity in the overall computerisation of medical records in community health services in China, the EMR systems in the most developed eastern region are more likely to capture data that meet all of the task needs and support patient referral arrangements in particular compared with their less-developed western and central counterparts. The unbalanced socioeconomic development across regions in China may have a great impact on the allocation of health resources [44]. The community health services located in the relatively more developed regions are likely to attract higher levels of governmental investment, enabling them to adopt an EMR with more functional modules.…”

Objective: To evaluate the degree to which electronic medical records (EMRs) were used in primary care and the value of EMRs as perceived by primary care workers in China. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 2719 physicians (n = 2213) and nurses (n = 506) selected from 462 community health centres across all regions of mainland China except for Tibet. Regional differences in the responses regarding the functionality of existing EMR systems and the perceived value of EMRs were examined using Chi-square tests and ordinal regression analyses. Results: Less than 59% of the community health centres had adopted EMRs. More than 89% of the respondents believed that it was necessary to adopt EMRs in primary care. Of the existing EMR systems, 50% had access to telehealth support for laboratory, imaging or patient consultation services. Only 38.4% captured data that met all task needs and 35.4% supported referral arrangements. “Management of chronic conditions” was voted (66%) as the top preferred feature of EMRs. Higher levels of recognition of the value of EMRs were found in the relatively more developed eastern region compared with their counterparts in other regions. Conclusions: Rapid EMR adoption in primary care is evident in mainland China. The low level of functionality in data acquisition and referral arrangements runs counter to the requirements for “management of chronic conditions”, the most preferred feature of EMRs in primary care. Regional disparities in the realised value of EMRs in primary care deserve policy attention.
