Executive Summary

Electronic Health (e-Health) technology has brought the world with significant transformation from traditional paper-based medical practice to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)-based systems for automatic management (storage, processing, and archiving) of information. Traditionally e-Health systems have been designed to operate within stovepipes on dedicated networks, physical computers, and locally managed software platforms that make it susceptible to many serious limitations including: lack of on-demand scalability during critical situations; high administrative overheads and costs; and in-efficient resource utilization and energy consumption due to lack of automation.
