ABSTRACT
Health Information Technology (HIT) and Digital Health are rapidly transforming health-care systems spurred by technology innovation, government initiatives, and growing challenges of the twenty-first century in improving quality, efficiency, and patient experiences. Chronic disease management often requires a long-term care plan; hence, chronic disease management is critical to achieving improved health outcomes, quality of life, and cost-effective health care. The rapid growth in health communication strategies and HIT to improve population health outcomes, health-care quality, and to achieve health equity is helping the health sector to cope with disease prevention and control, and disseminating information to educate patients and communities. The improvement and efficient performance of mobile technologies, more mature electronic health records, and clinical decision support systems are the most significant reasons for the growing interest of the health-care industry in telemedicine. The health systems still have access barriers to service the greater population.
