Telehealth services pilot project
THE government has selected Seberang Prai to implement its telehealth services pilot project under the 9MP.
The project is a test bed to see how the interoperability and sharing of information through lifetime health record (LHR) and lifetime health plan (LHP) would be introduced.
The government also plan to have a nation-wide information system, linking public and private facilities, to allow the transfer of patients information among providers whenever and wherever required.
The aim is to have a borderless and continuous care for the convenience of the public. This will also see a centralised National Health Informatics Centre that processes health-related information for a timely, quality and reliable respond.
At the same time, rural folks in Sabah and Sarawak can look for a better health care services as the government plans to expand its teleconsultation services there.
Other plans under the 9MP include the implementation of hospital information system (HIS) in selected hospitals and clinics to improve health care delivery.
Under the 9MP, HIS will be implemented in phases.
