healthcare quality improvements   

COLLAPSE

The health sector transformational program has many strategic plans that aim to achieve, improving population health and healthcare services by utilizing E-health and increasing the quality of life, well-being, and life expectancy are an example of the quality improvement achieved. With E-Health, doctors are able to administer treatment for patients, improve decision-making to respond to the ever-growing number of diseases, conduct research and monitor public health (Alhusaini H.A, 2006). In fact, the data showed that more than 95 hospitals in the private sector were operating some sort of E-Health services, compared to just 45 hospitals in the public sector, and 44 hospitals in the private sector were accredited with E-Services as compared to 18 hospitals in the public sector. However, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia has made notable progress in improving its populationàhealth over recent decades, particularly in the areas of child and maternal mortality and the reduction of infectious diseases. (Chowdhury, S., Mok, D., & Leenen, L. 2021). The new model of care theme is a focal point for improved treatment and care modalities individually. (Chowdhury, S., Mok, D., & Leenen, L. 2021). It highlights the individual and their families to keep well-being and good health, through self-care, awareness, and education. More than 60,000 citizens participated in the public survey around the patient-centric design, 2500+ healthcare professionals engaged in e-discussions, and 1000+ healthcare professionals surveyed to identify improvement opportunities. (Chowdhury, S., Mok, D., & Leenen, L. 2021). However, the government highlighted Vision 2030 to gain popular support but actual action to improve population health remains limited. (Rahman, R., & Al-Borie, H. M, 2021). One of the MOHàsuccessful initiatives that have done during the covid 19 pandemic was utilizing E-Health through applications like sehaty, and wasfaty or E- prescription. It facilitates access to many healthcare services and increases patient satisfaction. One of the Challenges faced some technical issues were reported by the users of the applications, and there were significant differences between users and nonusers regarding their age, sex, education, and region. Al-Hazmi (A. M., Sheerah, H. A., & Arafa, A, 2021). Finally, I recommend a standardized E- health education or awareness as a quality improvement measure, to make it one resource, to improve community awareness, and reinforce the populationàhealth. Pre and post-assessment by conducting surveys can measure the improvement.
