Key Findings

RAND developed a roadmap with five objectives for the Chilean government to expand its health information technology (health IT) capabilities over the next ten years:

1. Develop capacity for health IT implementation and create a nongovernmental entity to coordinate efforts.
2. Institute interoperable electronic health records (EHRs) in the public health system.
3. Implement a pharmaceutical and medical device tracking system that integrates with the EHR.
4. Expand use of online appointment and payment systems.
5. Scale up telemedicine projects to help reach Chileans in remote and underserved areas.

Health systems around the world have been looking to health information technology (health IT) to help tackle some of their greatest challenges. But it can be difficult to harness new technologies, and health IT is no exception.
