The dissemination of healthcare treatment through the developed world is at the inception of extending successful implementation strategies in the developing world. The implementation of healthcare is now pairing clinical expertise with technological advancements. Standard treatment in developed countries can be transferred to countries that lack in comparison efficient channeling of clinical management, but have a basic foundational infrastructure conducive for technological implementation. Technological application such as data processing, data storage, portable medical devices and telemedicine are appropriate clinical interventions in developing nations.
Inherent Strengths through Optimization
As the implementation of healthcare technological systems in developing nations progresses, there are opportunities for lessons to be learned in establishing enhanced efficiency, quality and performance that may then be reconfigured back into a developed healthcare delivery system. Common challenges may include lack of professionals with appropriate programming and information technology skills, consistent and adequate power supply, digital storage and transfer equipment and thorough knowledge transfer. The inherent environmental challenges of technological implementation in the developing world may render a necessity to sustain operations and processing systems that utilize clinical care, technology, and information channeling in an optimal manner. These optimizations may offer insight into improved efficiencies in developing nations, inclusive of but not limited to refined data storage architecture, streamlined data processing systems, adequate and accurate clinical definitions and treatment methodologies.
The Long Term Process of Technology Transfer
The long term implications of a circular transfer of knowledge in healthcare information dissemination methodologies entail increased communication flow that accompanies a matrix of complex and streamlined information systems infrastructure. This unique blend that couples operations in environments that are abundant and environments that are lacking in required supplies and infrastructure will render cross-communication that will highlight the strengths of each.
