Physicians Perception of the Impact of E-health Reform on the Saudi Arabian Health System

Abstract

The Ministry of Health (MOH) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia introduced e-health systems reform in 2011. The national e-health plan has already been in action; the MOH expected to implement the system throughout the country by 2021. The MOH manages about 60% of the hospitals in Saudi Arabia. In 2016, the government of Saudi Arabia introduced Vision 2030. One of the main objectives of the reform is to accelerate the implementation of primary and digital infrastructure projects. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the e-health system reform in Saudi Arabia.
