Good Evening Colleagues,
I am developing a structured questionnaire to capture if Information and Communication Technology can be used effectively to improve the state of Public Healthcare in India. The idea is to assess the actions related to Telemedicine, EHR, EMR in hospitals. I would survey the Doctors for use of ICT in Diagnosis or Prescription, Operators in use of ICT tools and the patients to study their opinion. Is there already a validated questionnaire for this?
Best regards,
There are a number of of published tools for assessing the eHealth 'readiness' of health organisations and health systems, and for evaluating eHealth. Try conducting a citation search based on these two reviews by Khoja and colleagues, which focus on developing country contexts:

Dear,
Currently ICT play very big role in health care sector. Following are the benefits which you can include in your questioners
1. A physician in a remote rural hospital is initially unable to diagnose a patient with a complex array of symptoms. However, using his ICT, he is able to diagnose and successfully treat the patient for a tropical disease the patient picked up while traveling abroad.
2. A neonatologist, who transmits CT-scans and other medical images by e-mail to his network of personal contacts around the world to help in diagnosing and treating premature newborns, estimates that teleconsultations have helped him to save numerous lives during the past year.
