A Meta-Analysis on Public Sector E-Health Practices to Suggest Emerging Areas of E-Health Services Within Sri Lanka

Abstract

E-Health is directly intertwined with Information Technology. It is a key e-Governance domain which has a high tendency of growing rapidly to serve the society's health needs. In general, it is obvious that e-Health concept does not have a considerable sound within Sri Lanka. This study intended to carry out a Meta-analysis and find out the untouched areas of e-Health. Through that, there was an expectation to give a reflection on such areas to attract policymakers to enhance e-health services in Sri Lanka. Previously done research results and few interviews with respective professionals have conducted to mitigate the analysis. The investigation reflects that even there are many e-Health exposures in Sri Lanka due to lack of intermediate coordination the processes has broken the flow of distribution. Research investigations sound that only 1% of the e-Health implementations are successful within the country. Along with a side to side coordination, it is vital to look for more opportunities in m-Health and e-health awareness programs to promote the present e-health practices as well as the new trends of e-Health services in Sri Lanka.
