Introducing health information systems to aged care in Vietnam
Nguyen, Lemai and Nguyen, The Hue 2010, Introducing health information systems to aged care in Vietnam, in PACIS 2010 : Proceedings of the 14th Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems, National Taiwan University, [Taipei, Taiwan].
Similar to many other countries worldwide, Vietnam is facing a challenge of an ageing population. This challenge is even more difficult to overcome because Vietnam is a developing country lacking an established aged care infrastructure and system. Many aspects of aged care have largely been relied on families of aged people due to a strong influence of Confucian philosophy. Looking after aged parents has always been seen as a responsibility and filial piety of children and their extended families. Therefore, providing healthcare for aged people in their family and community context is important. The paper offers a rich description and an analysis of the current situation of the health state of and healthcare for aged people in Vietnam. The paper also suggests directions for integrating information communication technology into aged care in Vietnam.
