Abstract

Changes in the economic and social structure brought about by the industrial revolution have produced a new environment in which information and communication technologies are intensively exploited in every industry. As information has become an essential competitive weapon, corporations have turned to information processing technology to maintain control over it. Information technologies in the domains of education, health, pharmacy, and communication have gotten the highest portion of their budget as investment tools. Information is crucial for all clinical and administrative procedures in the health sector in particular. Capturing, storing, analyzing, interpreting, and disseminating information requires advanced and intensive technologies, such as speedy and effective diagnostic and treatment technology, patient monitoring sensors, hospital information management systems, and radio frequency recognition chips. Additionally, the transfer of health data to digital platforms in our country and throughout the globe has hastened the growth of the concept of electronic health (E-Health).
