Aim. The aim of the study was to consolidate the principles and rules for building a regulatory and reference space based on the analysis of previous phases of implementation to prioritize the development and to create a single digital contour in health care.Information sources. Data were obtained from the Regulatory Service at the Federal Registry of Regulatory and Reference Information (RRI), regulations of the Russian Ministry of Health in the field of information technology development, and the methodical and conceptual documents of the federal project “Creation of the integrated digital contour in healthcare based on the uniform state health information system”.Results. The stages of creating a single system of regulatory and reference information in the health sector over the past decade were analyzed taking into account the continuity of goals and objectives consistently presented in the conceptual and strategic documents that define the process of creating unique state health information system, as well as the experience of their solution. The analysis allowed to formulate the basic principles of development, namely: central management, structural unity, functional unity, information unity, and prioritization of tasks. Consolidation of principles and rules provided the basis for a scientific and methodical approach to further development of a single RRI system at the stage of creating a single digital contour in health care and shaping priorities of the development.Conclusion. At the stage of creating a single digital contour in health care, which has been approached by many countries, including Russia, the importance of a ubiquitous language of communication increases dramatically and, as the events associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have shown, the readiness of information systems directly determines the readiness of society to meet challenges and to protect the population.

Health information system deals with any system that helps in capturing, storing, transmitting, and managing health-related information of an individual or to demonstrate the activities or organizations working within health-care sector. In the developing countries, maternal and child health is gaining concern due to increasing cases of morbidity and mortality. The disparities among the maternal, infant, and child health are a growing concern in India and are governed by various determinants such as socioeconomic status, literacy, quality of health care, discrimination, and biological and genetic factors. Accurate and reliable health information and data are the basis for decision-making across the health-care sector and are crucial for the development and implementation of health system policy by the policy-makers. Strict monitoring and evaluation of the present program design and its implementation is required at the microlevel to effectively utilize the resources for the improvement of maternal and child health. Our present article focuses on evaluating the coverage gap at the different levels for the provision of health-care facilities to maternal, neonatal, and child health, immunization, and treatment of poor children. Big data plays a major role in providing sound and reliable health-related information and also help in managing and recording structured and unstructured data. More concrete plans are required further to reduce the inequalities in health-care interventions for providing better maternal and child health-care services in our nation.

Background: As of today, there is no unified health information system that registers and systematizes the results of periodic medical examinations of workers exposed to occupational hazards in the Russian Federation. Our objective was to examine the results of periodic medical examinations in the Sverdlovsk Region over a five-year period. Materials and methods: We reviewed medical reports and conclusions issued by regional health facilities in 2015–2019 and submitted to the Regional Occupational Health Center of the Yekaterinburg Medical Research Center for Prophylaxis and Health Protection in Industrial Workers, and analyzed completeness and timeliness of their submission. Results: We established that occupational health assessment based on the results of periodic medical examinations is complicated by late and incomplete data reporting by healthcare facilities of the Sverdlovsk Region. Conclusions: Our findings prove the importance of creating a “Periodic Medical Examination” subsystem of the unified state health information system. Providing access to standardised results of periodic medical examinations based on a single digital platform to all professional participants of the national occupational health system will enable data recording, analysis and assessment at the interregional and intersectoral levels, as well as at the level of business entities, and facilitate their use for the purposes of workers’ health risk management. Timeliness of reporting and completeness of date entry in the “Periodic Medical Examination” subsystem (or a Federal Registry of Periodic Medical Examinations) may be monitored and verified by local Rospotrebnadzor bodies to be connected to the unified state health information systems of constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

A mobile e-Health information system (MEHIS) aims to speed up the operations of health care in medical centers and hospitals. However, the proper implementation of MEHIS involves integrating many subsystems for MEHIS to be properly executed. A typical MEHIS can consist of many components and subsystems, such as appointments and scheduling; admission, discharge, and transfer (ADT); prescription order entry; dietary planning; and smart card sign-on. This paper describes the development of a MEHIS with open-source Eclipse, using currently available health care standards. The author discusses the issues of building a mobile e-Health information system which can help achieve the goal of ubiquitous and mobile applications for the personalization of e-Health.

The health care system in Libya in recent years does not change significantly, less developed and modernized. This problem is further exacerbated by the revolution that occurred in Libya. The revolution that occurred in 2011 has caused the health care system into collapse. In this study conducted a review for the development of health information systems in Libya by using OpenMRS Framework.At the stage of gathering information using questionnaires concluded that the majority of respondents (about 95.35%) wanted the development of a new system that can resolve the main problems that occurred in Libya, the health information system ineffective and inefficient in which this system has led to wastage of time and increased operating costs. Based on analysis of system vulnerabilities using PIECES method could also be concluded that the current system is not used effectively and efficiently. In this study is also presented on how to implement OpenMRS.Based on the results of the discussion it can be concluded that OpenMRS is a solution that can be taken for the development of a health information system that is fast, low cost, and is an open source application that only requires a little setting in the system of patient management and care. OpenMRS can be implemented to support the health services of a small clinic to the health services with enterprise scale. Therefore, OpenMRS could be the answer to the development of health information systems in various countries around the world, including Libya.

Information systems play a significant role in helping to improve health outcomes and decision-making at the point of care, as well as in the planning and funding of care. There is no doubt that new technologies, especially information and communication technologies, could dramatically contribute to achieve better results in our activities in general. The healthcare sector, one of the largest sectors of society accounting, is very complex with many different application requirements. There are also a number of different types of actors that need to communicate for various healthcare purposes (patients/citizens, healthcare professionals and organizations providing health care cervices, payment bodies, pharmaceutical industry, the national governments). Standardization is the first and the most important step in building an Integral Healthcare Information System. However, standardization has been recognized in most of the countries as an important tool to achieve some of the general goals in healthcare systems. The relationship between the participants locally, regionally and nationally requires that information is shared for planning, funding and treatment purposes. Health information standards are instrumental for the operation of healthcare organizations, the planning and management of the health sector, for electronic business transactions and the development of a national system of electronic health records as well. It is necessary to make relevant decisions on adoption of specific health information standards, to adjust them to local conditions as necessary, define in sufficient details methods the manner of their introduction and implementation. The successful implementation of each National Health Information Systems Strategy is heavily dependent upon the implementation of information standards.
