| Project Summary | The project purpose is to exchange views and best practices on implementation e-health systems and make recommendations on using e-health systems in APEC economies within a workshop. Planned activities: 1. 35 participants including 10-12 experts from APEC economies will discuss: · experience of e-health systems implementation, · principles of building e-health systems according to different levels ofeconomic and technical development in various regions, · experience of sharing data bases between clinics and regions. 2. Outputs: · recommendations for implementation of e-health systems in APEC economies, · recommendations for using e-health systems as a tool for management ofhealth area as well as for monitoring of people health. The workshop will be held in August 2013 in the city of Krasnoyarsk, Russia. |
| Relevance | APEC economies have different experience in e-health. Within our workshop we suggest to exchange best practices of e-health systems implementation in different APEC economies. We believe that this experience will be useful for economies which don’t have enough capacity for development their own experience in this sphere. Economies have some similar difficulties while implementing e-health systems: • developing the way of building e-health system architecture, • installing technological network and buying equipment, • choosing software and settings of data transmission, • training health care employees to work with information data, • ensuring security mode of personal data used in e-health system, • introducing terms of use of e-health system and its application by medical We suggest sharing experience of overcoming these difficulties and developing recommendations for economies how to implement e-health systems. Moreover some developing economies have the same difficulties connected with management of health area and need experience in using e-health as a tool of management. We suggest discussing this experience too. It is necessary to identify the most suitable ways and to recommend them to APEC economies. Created common platform will be able to offer economies the optimal solution in implementation and application of e-health systems. |
| Objectives | 1) to exchange experience and best practices of e-health systems implementation in 2) to discuss principles of building e-health systems accordingly to different levels of 3) to discuss experience of sharing data bases between different clinics and regions, 4) to exchange experiences and best practices of developing, using and managing e 5) to make recommendations for e-health system implementation in APEC economies. |
| Alignment | This project follows the declaration of the APEC Leaders made on The Leaders Week in Honolulu (2011): “to agree measures to strengthen health systems as part of a comprehensive health reform framework, including... encouraging efforts to develop Age Friendly Economies using innovative policy, practices, and technologies to support healthy lives” (5 Mar 2012, APEC USA 2011: Outcomes, Toward a Seamless Regional Economy, http://apec.org/Press/Features/2012/0305_outcomes.aspx). Also one of the priorities of Health Working Group in 2012 is “Strengthening health systems of individual countries, including health financing, human resources and information technology in health care, which would contribute to a comprehensive and sound development” (HWG 2012 work plan). As a response to the leaders commitment, this project aims at improving health capacity which is a key element to the health system and vital to improve health. The project associates with priority of the Health Working Group adopted on the first Senior Officials' Meeting (SOM1) in Washington DC, the United States in March 2011: • improving health outcomes through advances in health information technology.
The project also meets the “ECOTHEC Priorities”-“Human security”. The project will help to create a platform for integrated information environment in health care which is one of APEC priorities. |
| TILF/ASF Justification | This project gives opportunity for the developing economies to create common information space consisting of integrated automation systems of every APEC economie health care which will directly impact on improving the accessibility, quality of service and delivery of medical care. Recognizing the fact that population's health is essential to sustainable development of human resources and therefore sustainable economic development and innovative growth in the APEC region – the reduction of the imbalance in the quality of medical services rendered to population of economies with deficits in the development in this area will help to take the next step in strengthening the process of ICT development of health care technology, which will generally affect the physical well-being of the economies' population and the quality of medical and sanitary aid. APEC may set a good example showing how economies can grow and prosper together ensuring security of public health with the use of modern information technologies. |
| Beneficiaries and Outputs | Based on the best e-health systems implementation practice in different APEC economies most suitable ways to implement will be indentified and recommended to the economies which don’t have enough capacity to develop their own experience in this sphere. The output of the workshop will be a draft strategy in the e-health area, which will identify the focus of work in this sphere as well as specific activities to support the member economies in the application of e-health system in order to improve people's health, medical and sanitary aid, building the capacity and management. It also includes e-learning system in the public interest which in this context means the use of electronic technology and electronic devices. The end result will help countries of Korea, Taipei, Indonesia, Malaysia and China to disseminate experience and best practices in e-health and to identify a number of priorities, based on the medical and sanitary needs that should benefit from support and cooperation on global, regional and national levels and also to strengthen the ability of the economies to solve medical and sanitary problems by including e-health applications in the health care system. The existing economies' experience will help to survey, analyze and document the impact of the policy and actions related to information and communication technologies, including the socio-economic impact, on the population's health, will provide reasonable technical support to economies and will also provide with guidelines in best practices, means and methods of e-health development. |
| Dissemination | Collection of conference materials based on the workshop results will be disseminated on DVD (printed DVD with recorded materials) available in 50 copies. These information carriers will be given free of charge to the participants of the workshop, experts from APEC and others interested in APEC activities. In addition conference materials will be sent by e-mail and also will be available online in the APEC publications Database. |
| Gender | The workshop is intended for both women and men participation. Further joint decision-making will improve medical and sanitary awareness and increase introduction of healthy lifestyle into the practice through e-learning systems, analysis of e-health progress and its impact on the health, it will anticipate new opportunities and challenges and provide factual evidence, information and guidance in support of policy, best practice and managing e-health system. The project confirms the commitment to take concrete measures to increase women's participation in economy and to extend their rights and opportunities. Statistics show that the majority of medical staff are women. Generally the identification of optimal approach to implement e-health system would greatly facilitate women's work in hospitals and health services due to optimization of completing and keeping medical records, reports, statistics, etc. |
| Work Plan | First stage (March-June 2013) March 2013 To distribute information for APEC participating economies of the workshop, to study current initiatives and proposals; and to determine a circle of experts and participants with the most advanced experience in e-health and making e-health systems. April-May 2013 To request and summarize the materials from experts and participants of the workshop, what is more to prepare reference information for the upcoming workshop, to form a circle of workshop participants and to resolve organizational issues associated with holding the workshop as well as the travel and accommodation of participants. June 2013. To develop the program for the workshop and to present it to the participants.
Second stage (July-August 2013) The Workshop “Promoting Human Security in APEC: Development of e-health systems as a tool for management in the health area of APEC’s economies” will take place in the city of Krasnoyarsk (Russia). Over a period of two days, experts and participants will discuss key issues and hold consultations. It is planned that participants will discuss following: • existing experiences in implementation e-health systems to identify the most effective methods as well as different and unique technologies in e-health in APEC economies; • developing recommendations for e-health systems implementation in APEC economies, • developing recommendations for using e-health as a tool for management of health area and for monitoring of people health.Third stage (September 2013) To publish the results of the workshop. To disseminate the conclusions and recommendations made during the workshop among the participants and also participating economies not taking part in the workshop and to prepare a detailed report of the realized project.- Co-sponsoring economies will be invited to advise on the preparation of the workshop; all APEC economies will be asked to contribute their experience and best practice, to attend the workshop, and provide technical comments on the final material. |
| Risks | Risks associated with the project may occur if criteria characteristics of certain APEC economies do not comply with selected and approved recommendations of the APEC on health care’s information systems implementation. In case of existing non-compliance in the course of project realization the economy will have the possibility to analyze the activities in e-health area with subsequent exchange of information in order to develop individual models that are effective in terms of cost and use existing experience. |
| Monitoring and Evaluation | The initial step will be a survey of the workshop participants about the benefits of the event and obtaining the information that can be used further by the member economy. The next step in monitoring will be the collection of information on the possibility of project realization in development of e-health systems and information on the project implementation provided by representatives of APEC economies. Surveys and information collection will be carried out using the online resources. One of the main indicators of the project realization will be its introduction to the work in APEC economies. |
| Linkages | Е-Health has been discussed a lot within APEC for many years. This issue has been developed mostly by Counter-Terrorism Task Force (CTTF), Telecommunications and Information Working Group (TEL). Some other working groups are also interested in e-health. They are Life Science Innovation Forum (LSIF), e-Commerce Steering Group (ECSG), Emergency Preparedness Working Group (EPWG). But Health Working Group paid the most attention to this activity. E-Health seminars and APEC e-Health Technical Fora were held. They have influenced deeply on experience sharing and expert knowledge of e-health in the APEC region. It is important and necessary to continue this work. 1. Enhanced APEC Health Communications: Collaborative Preparedness in Asia Pacific (USA) 2008. This project's aims were improving communication with the business/private sector, information sharing across economies on preparedness and improving regional collaboration. 2. APEC e-Health Seminar (Korea) 2009. This project proposed to attract the private sector and way of support from developed member economies to the implementation of e-Health services in developing member economies. 3. APEC Workshop for Innovation in Telecare (Chinese Taipei) 2009 г. In the workshop activities, participants learnt the practical skills to improve the accessibility of telecare in HWG member economies.
4. The Health Working Group in cooperation with the Life Sciences Innovation Forum of the Committee on Trade and Investment held a High Level Systems Innovation Dialogue in September 2011 which focused on the use of innovative approaches to reduce chronic diseases in the region. There was a report of Chinese Taipei about benefit of e-health within the Dialogue. |
| Sustainability | Embracing the methods and experience in implementation of e-health systems in the various APEC economies workshop will result in recommendations’ development and distribution among APEC economies for further application. These recommendations will help the economies to identify the key methodological principles of the development, implementation, maintenance and progress of information, software and technical support to health care institutions and organizations. On completion of project's funding member economies can provide information on the experience of implementing health systems in APEC economies for consideration of agencies of state authority in their countries.
In turn this information can help developing economies to invest in the development of information and communication technology infrastructure for health and to ensure fair, affordable, and universal access to the benefits it provides; mobilize multi-sectoral collaboration to set standards and norms in e-health on the basis of factual evidence and to ensure that the e-health system is in the interests of citizens, patients and health professionals and meets the requirements of quality, security and also ethical standards; analyze the activity in e-health area and exchange information in order to develop individual models that are effective in terms of cost and use existing experience; establish national centers and networks of excellence in order to identify best practices in the e-health area, to coordinate policy and technical support for delivering medical and sanitary aid, to improve service, citizens' awareness, capacity building, and epidemiological surveillance. |
