Keywords:
Electronic Health Systems, eHealth, Electronic Health Records, Telemedicine, Mobile Health, Healthcare Delivery, Patient Outcomes, Interoperability, Data Security, Blockchain, Remote Healthcare, Digital Health.Abstract
This study examines the transformative role of electronic health (eHealth) systems in modern medical practice, focusing on their impact on healthcare delivery, patient outcomes, and operational efficiency. Through a systematic literature review and empirical analysis of eHealth implementations, the research evaluates the efficacy of electronic health records (EHRs), telemedicine, and mobile health applications. Results indicate that eHealth systems improve patient data accessibility by 30%, reduce diagnostic errors by 15%, and enhance care coordination in 85% of cases. These technologies also facilitate remote healthcare delivery, particularly in underserved regions. The study concludes that eHealth systems are pivotal in modernizing healthcare, though challenges like interoperability and data security persist. Innovative solutions, such as blockchain integration, are highlighted as future directions to enhance eHealth adoption and scalability.
