In the context of developing countries, there is a mounting interest in the field of mHealth. This surge in interest can be traced to the evolution of several interrelated trends (VW Consulting, 2009). However, with numerous attempts to create mobile-based technology for health, too many experiments and projects have not been able to scale or sustain. How is it possible to design and implement scalable and sustainable mHealth applications in low resource settings and emerging markets?. This chapter provides lessons from case studies of two successful and large scale implementations of mHealth solutions and the choices that were made in the design and implementation of those solutions. The chapter uses Information Infrastructure Theory as a theoretical lens to discuss reasons why these projects have been able to successfully scale.

Electronic Health Information

The electronic-based documentation system is considered a major transformation in health care in many hospitals worldwide. Successful implementation of the system makes nurses' jobs easier, saves time, and improves the quality of care that is delivered to patients. However, little is known about the adoption of electronic health information systems in developing countries. The purpose of this study was to understand and evaluate nurses' acceptance and attitudes about implementation of an electronic health information system in Palestinian hospitals. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 191 nurses in three governmental hospitals in Palestine. A majority of these nurses understood the need for and accepted the computer-based documentation as demonstrated by their scores on the attitude questionnaire. Inclusion of nurses in early phases of planning and implementation is important. Other developing countries can learn from the Palestinian experience with implementation of electronic health records.

Complete Repair

Introduction: Tachydysrhythmias (TDS) frequently occur after complete repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). However, not much is known about the effect of TDS on morbidity and mortality after TOF repair. We sought to assess the associations between TDS and mortality and morbidity after repair of TOF using a multicentre database. Materials and Methods: We identified all children aged 0–5 years in the Pediatric Health Information System who underwent TOF repair between 2004 and 2015. Codes for TDS were used to identify cases. Outcome variables were inpatient mortality and total length of stay (LOS). Univariate and multiple logistic and linear regression analyses were used to identify the effects of multiple risk factors, including TDS, on mortality and LOS. Results: A total of 7,749 patients met inclusion criteria, of which 1,493 (19%) had codes for TDS. There was no association between TDS and inpatient mortality. However, TDS were associated with 1.1 days longer LOS and accounted for 2% of the variation observed in LOS. Conclusion: After complete repair of TOF, TDS were not associated with mortality and appeared to have only a modest effect on LOS.
