Abstract:

This systematic review aimed to identify the challenges and problems facing e-health in Saudi Arabia. This information is essential for subsequent identification of e-health modelling requirements and e-health opportunities in the country. A search in Google Scholar using the topic as the search term generated 19 papers for review. The results are presented as abstracted findings of each paper (Supplementary Material) and categorisation by topic, type, and research methods. Analysis of the tabulated data showed that 10 papers dealt explicitly with the topic of this review, that is, problems, challenges and barriers in e-health. The remaining 9 addressed other topics, but included discussion of barriers, problems or challenges. There were 8 conference papers and 11 journal articles. Surveys (10) were the most frequently used (10) research method. Some studies used more than one method. In relation to specific problems, barriers or challenges, 29 papers discussed technological issues, 20 were related to ICT infrastructure and 13 identified organisational and psychosocial factors. This report discusses these results and makes three recommendations.
