“…The findings showed that e-health tools such as telemedicine, m-health, bar code technology, radio frequency identification, and clinical decision support systems, picture archiving & communication system significantly improve patient safety, dietary management, and document management, which generally improve the quality of healthcare services delivered to the patients. Another study in a similar vein was conducted by Malaquias, de Oliveira Malaquias & Hwang (2017) on the role of ICT for development in Brazil, with specific focus on IT advances in the health area. The findings showed that e-health applications such as telemedicine applications for cancer and prescription processes, electrocardiogram in the clouds, and remote tele-monitoring of chronic patients have direct effect on social and human development.…”

BackgroundE-health technology applications are essential tools of modern information technology that improve quality of healthcare delivery in hospitals of both developed and developing countries. However, despite its positive benefits, studies indicate that the rate of the e-health adoption in some developing countries is either low or underutilized. This is due in part, to barriers such as resistance from healthcare professionals, poor infrastructure, and low technical expertise among others.ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to investigate, identify and analyze the underlying factors that affect healthcare professionals decision to adopt and use e-health technology applications in developing countries, with particular reference to hospitals in Nigeria.MethodsThe study used a cross sectional approach in the form of a close-ended questionnaire to collect quantitative data from a sample of 465 healthcare professionals randomly selected from 15 hospitals in Nigeria. We used the modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the dependent variable and external factors as independent variables. The collected data was then analyzed using SPSS statistical analysis such as frequency test, reliability analysis, and correlation coefficient analysis.ResultsThe results obtained, which correspond with findings from other researches published, indicate that perceived usefulness, belief, willingness, as well as attitude of healthcare professionals have significant influence on their intention to adopt and use the e-health technology applications. Other strategic factors identified include low literacy level and experience in using the e-health technology applications, lack of motivation, poor organizational and management policies.ConclusionThe study contributes to the literature by pinpointing significant areas where findings can positively affect, or be found useful by, healthcare policy decision makers in Nigeria and other developing countries. This can help them understand their areas of priorities and weaknesses when planning for e-health technology adoption and implementation.

“…Adicionalmente, a baixa dependência de capital físico, destacada pela existência de plataformas digitais, impõe um terreno no qual se enfatiza mais a capacidade de identificação de problemas e oferta de soluções simples, do que a necessidade de altos investimentos iniciais e incidência de sunk costs. Deste modo, MALAQUIAS et al (2017) contribuem com a dinâmica na qual o governo é capaz estimular a adoção de serviços públicos ofertados digitalmente que afetam a promoção do desenvolvimento econômico, social e humano.…”

Resumo: Este artigo analisa a dinâmica da indústria nacional de tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC). As tendências crescentes de digitalização afetam as sociedades e novos desafios e oportunidades precisam ser aproveitados pela política industrial. Para discutir a difusão de infraestrutura e tecnologias, foi utilizado o ICT Development Index (IDI), da International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Além disso, dados da Relação Anual de Informações Sociais (RAIS), com base na Classificação Nacional de Atividades Econômicas (CNAE 2.0), subsidiaram a definição do "setor" de TIC. Por fim, os dados de desempenho competitivo do mercado global foram obtidos por meio do portal Sistemas de Comércio Exterior (Siscomex). O resultado indica que o Brasil tem uma indústria nacional de TIC baseada em serviços com algum grau de competitividade e qualificação crescente, enquanto a indústria de hardware de TIC diminui continuamente. Até certo ponto, ainda há uma chance de empreender a indústria de TIC nos termos atuais da competição global.Palavras-chave: Indústria nacional; tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICS); ICT Development Index (IDI).

The deep integration of information technology (IT) and the real economy contributes to China’s high-quality economic sustainable development. From the perspective of efficiency, this paper aims to build an evaluation index system, with 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2017 being taken as the research objects, conduct static and dynamic analysis by using the super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA)-Malmquist index, and draw a spatial distribution diagram to reflect its changes. This study reveals that the integrated development of information technology and the real economy is unbalanced in China. The eastern region performs better with a development slowdown, while the central and western regions lag behind with a lot of room for improvement. The effect of regional agglomeration is obvious, which can be evidenced by the fact that those provinces with a high-efficiency value produce a radiation effect on their neighboring provinces. On the whole, the total factor productivity is increasing annually, with the technical progress being the main factor that affects the total efficiency. According to the results, the countermeasures and suggestions are put forward in this paper to provide reference for a better sustainability development of information technology and the real economy.
