Rôle of Digitalization in Improving Health Services in Hospitals in Algeria

Abstract

In recent years, the Algerian health and social services network has undergone major transformations: shift to ambulatory care, deinstitutionalization, large-scale structural reforms, crises, etc. And now we are being told that the establishments and organizations in the network will digitize their entire operations before the end of December 2023. Cost of the operation, billions of dinars of the budget allocated to the health sector estimated of 61 billion DA. the Minister of Health recently announced his intention to digitally connect all state and private medical clinics to the network. As can be seen by simply recalling these facts, the management of personal data contained in the files of users of the health and social services network constitutes a crucial issue in the current context. . As this transition takes place, it is therefore appropriate to question the protection of personal information contained in these sensitive files. While ensuring that the current legal framework must provide adequate protection for this sensitive information. And at a time when health issues weigh heavily on societal choices, digitalization has found itself increasingly called upon by all those involved in the field of health,” in this research we will present the growing role of digitalization in the improvement of health services.
