Status of Digital Health Technology Adoption in 5 Vietnamese Hospitals: Cross-Sectional Assessment
The 5 major Vietnamese public hospitals in this assessment have widely adopted information systems, such as HIS, LIS, and RIS-PACS, to support administrative and clinical tasks. Although the adoption of EMR systems is less common, their implementation revolves around data collection, management, and access to clinical data. Secondary use of clinical data for decision support through the implementation of CDRs and CDSS is limited, posing a potential barrier to the integration of external DHTs into the existing systems. However, the wide adoption of international standards, such as HL7 and DICOM, is a facilitator for the adoption of new DHTs in these hospitals.
