What are the major barriers for health education and promotion with the use of technology?
Developed countries have adapted new health technologies in their health sector to a great extent. Developing countries are still struggling for it and facing a lot of barriers like
-Lack of infrastructure
-Cost&time
-Benefit analysis,
-Lack of skilled workforce
-National policies and motivation of health related personnel
Enough professional skills related to HIT are lacking. HIS cell
or health technology projects are lacking in budget. The time
period, which is required for well implementation of the specific
health technologies are long.
As Informatics is a constantly changing field and technology is
advancing day by day, so when you implement one technology the new
version or latest technology comes. System up-gradation along with
this change is unavoidable. Complexity in maintaining, integrating
and interoperability with the existing system make the use of
health technology very hard and difficult. These barriers are main
hurdle in adaption of health technologies and by addressing these
barriers adaption process can be successful.
