• Services, like:
• Operating surgical and intensive care units, with interconnected
instruments and surveillance services ensuring continuous patient
monitoring
• Computer-assisted prescription services, where the software checks
for incompatible drugs, contraindications and dosage levels
• Information services for patients and consumers, including individual
electronic health records
9. Main Players in the Field of e-
Health
• e-Health solutions firmly necessitate coordination with dissimilar players whose philosophies, purposes
and backgrounds are to a certain extent miscellaneous.

trade
• Government authorities, health and telecommunication decision-makers at the national and regional
levels, as well as the regional bodies to which they belong
• Academic and research institutions

• Consumers, patients, and their associations
• Donors
• Relevant non-governmental organizations
• The private sector, including foundations and industries related to health and ICTs
• The media
10. Success Factors for e-Health
Projects
• e-Health settings must be
• based on a clear appreciation of the country’s current and future public health and healthcare
issues and opportunities
• with a characterization of the corresponding national priorities, and on a medium- to long-term
accomplishment plans for the use of e-health technologies to meet healthcare priorities
• with fragmentary renovation and restoration of the health systems themselves
• For better accomplishment, the related strategy must:
• bring together players from the public sector, not-for-profit organizations and the private sector
• be structured in the form of a business plan, approved by the stakeholders
• be sponsored by a strong commitment on the part of all players
• include a comprehensive plan for ongoing education and communication with the partners

24. Metrics related with Health and e-
Health (3/4)
• Cost analysis
• Marginal net present value calculation
• Cost effectiveness analysis
• Total absorption costing
• Cost minimization
• Cost minimization analysis
• Payback period and breakeven point
• Cost consequence analysis
• Affordability gap analysis
• Cost benefit analysis
• Utilization review
• Cost utility analysis
• Cost utility analysis
• Value chain analysis
• Willingness to pay
• eHealth utilization
• Contingent valuation method
• Activity based costing
25. Metrics related with Health and e-
Health (4/4)
• Both of these approached should be agreed on
related parties for employment
• Organizations need to blend these two category of
metrics and methods to monitor and fine-tune their
efforts and practices related with health practices.
• Health metrics and e-health metrics are determined
by related organizations to evaluate the effectiveness
and efficiencies of related systems
26. EU Citizen’s Use of e-Health
Services
• Factors that positively affected the use of Internet for health
purposes: youth, higher education, white-collar or no paid job,
visits to the GP during the past year, long-term illness or
disabilities, and a subjective assessment of one’s own health as
good.
• The most common way to use the Internet in health matters is to
read information, second comes using the net to decide whether
to see a doctor and to prepare for and follow up on doctors’
appointments
• Health-related use of the Internet does affect patients’ use of
other health services, but it would appear to supplement rather
than to replace other health services

information and to access to the health history from a single point, regardless
of where the examinations and treatments are completed
• In less than one-year period, since the introduction of the e-Pulse (e-Nabız),
the number of users reached to 3-million, and it is estimated that this number
will be about 25-million in next five years
• e-Pulse (e-Nabız) provides
• health records are reviewed by the doctors to the extents that are allowed by
users
• enhancements in the quality and speed of diagnosis and treatment process
as previous records are accessible
• a powerful communications line between patients and doctors

• Mobile application of the e-Pulse (e-Nabız) sends reminders to the patients
regarding their medicines to take
• By using the 112 emergency button, call emergency services with the exact
location that is shared by the application
• Users are the only ones to control their records on the e-Pulse (e-Nabız) and
they can delete or share the records of their own, or they can pause or
completely terminate/remove their accounts on the e-Pulse (e-Nabız) system
35. Features and Functionalities of
e-Pulse (e-Nabız) (3/3)
• Smart-wristbands that measure steps, pulses, and calories, blood pressure and blood sugar
monitoring devices with Bluetooth capabilities, and certain mobile devices and applications can be
integrated to the e-Pulse (e-Nabız) profile and all health records can be stored in a single place via
the e-Pulse (e-Nabız)
• Users can use the e-Pulse (e-Nabız) to access the details of their all examinations and treatments.
Users can update their profile information by using the profile section and review last activities, last
access details, and health facility visits of the related account by using the notifications section
• Users can either manually add their blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight information to the
system or authorize their devices to automatically send these data to the system

• Turkey currently does not have a finalized data protection law
• In Turkey, data protection is regulated in a piecemeal fashion by a
combination of the Turkish Constitution and the Turkish Criminal Code
• No separate provisions defining sensitive data, such as race, ethnicity,
sexual orientation or health
• The MoH noted that some data may be used in national or international
health research or analysis conducted for Decision Support Systems
• The MoH claims a non-liability clause for missing information, errors or
delays in the data, software viruses , etc.
38. Legal Case related with e-Pulse
(e-Nabız)
• The Turkish Medical Association applied to the State Council and
filed a lawsuit for the cancellation of the MoH’s Communiqué,
claiming that collecting personal health data with patient names
and identity numbers is against the general terms of data privacy
• The State Council made a decision to cancel the Communiqué of
MoH of Republic of Turkey on that as there is no existing
pertinent legal structure, particularly considering the lack of a
national law protecting personal data in Turkey
• Current situation is that all related data can be collected and
maintained if and only if the patients clearly permit to do so
before any recording and maintenance
39. Infrastructure of e-Pulse
(e-Nabız)
• The e-Pulse (e-Nabız) uses the infrastructure of the Health.NET
(Sağlık.NET). Certain characteristics of the Health.NET are:
• An infrastructure based on web technology that transfer standards data
from the first, second, and third step independent software.
• A decision support system taking role in decision mechanisms which
provides related information from the center.
• A reporting system which provides an ability to track indicators requested
from international organizations, like WHO, EUROSTAT, and OECD.
• An infrastructure which enables lawful international data exchange.
• Providing citizens ability to let them access and manage their records.
• Applications to support national surveillance systems to reach data by using
early-warning systems.
