Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pdld83/ehealth) has announced the addition of the "eHealth Initiatives Across Latin America (LATAM)" report to their offering.

While some governments in Latin America (LATAM) struggle to provide adequate basic medical supplies, others aspire to establish healthcare infrastructure that meets international standards and drives improvements in healthcare services through evidence-based medicine.

In either case, healthcare information technology (healthcare IT) plays a key role in improving quality and efficiency of care as well as enhancing workforce productivity. Improvements in healthcare IT drive robust collection of data which can be used to develop national level health policies and programs through electronic Health (eHealth).

Key Questions This Study Will Answer:

  • How is the healthcare system structured across the LATAM countries?
  • What are the emerging trends in eHealth and EHR coverage across countries?
  • How does regional integration impact eHealth and EHR?
  • What are the current trends in adoption of clinical terminology, particularly SNOMED CT?
  • What systems of clinical terminology are in use? What are the drivers and restraints in adoption of clinical terminology standards?
  • What is the role of the government in establishing standards?
  • What standards are preferred by vendors and others involved in the healthcare ecosystem?
