These include adoption of open source standards-based software platforms and data exchange standards to make efficient use of existing resources.
In addition, there needs to be clear legislation governing patient privacy and protecting the security of health information for records in electronic format.
This trend will continue as improvements are made in computer hardware, software, and telecommunication infrastructure and as countries develop the skills necessary to implement electronic data storage and transmission systems.

which means that computer software designed for this purpose must reflect its complexity. Capturing and using individual patient information electronically also requires installation of computer equipment at or close to the point of care.
In addition to the cost of the computer hardware and software, EMR/EHR systems require substantial resources including electricity, a controlled environment, training, maintenance and support.
This is due to the fact that the HL7 standard is built into most commercial health information software and therefore widely recognized.
It was adopted by UNAIDS for use by the Country Response Information System (CRIS) software (32.
Survey respondents may not have realized that the CRIS software uses IXF and therefore underreported IXF use.
Most systems will define a unique identifier that is local to the software application. Clinics and hospitals often have an identifier that is used throughout a system to transfer information such as clinical observations, laboratory and radiology results, and orders.
so that it can be received by a computer program which will understand its meaning. HL7 is the most commonly used health message standard.
Health software applications often use a proprietary or ad hoc messaging format that must be customized to be understood by both sender and receiver.
which require more complex software and training. High-income countries have transitioned to the point where there is today a higher use of electronic formats than paper records for patient data.
The use of free open-source software to develop sustainable health informatics capacity may leverage the investment in developing such systems.
Free open source software is particularly a boon to countries with financial constraints. The survey demonstrates that the greatest barrier to adoption of patient information systems is the lack of resources.
Free open-source software enables the development of sustainable local human resources for the implementation and maintenance of health information systems by drawing on a community of developers and users

the following section presents an econometric model based on panel data regression. This enables us to go beyond descriptive statistics and draw some robust conclusions on the link between competition and prices.
Choice of the model The analysis was conducted through econometric modelling using panel regressions for up to 144 countries based on data for the five-year period from 2008 to 2013.
Panel data regression is a statistical technique which is used to assess how variations in a set of variables over a given time period relate to Figure 4. 3:
Panel regressions minimize problems of omitted variable bias (the omission of important variables) and multicollinearity (the co-variations of variables modelled as independent).
In addition, panel regressions have the advantage of discounting known and unknown region fixed effects. These are structural geographic conditions
and mobile-cellular prices and competition and regulation metrics, using panel regressions with fixed effects.
Panel regression models for fixed-broadband and mobile-cellular prices Two models are used for the regressions:
Panel regression models for fixed-broadband and mobile-cellular prices (continued) Regulatory variable: The combined values of clusters 1 to 3 of the ITU ICT Regulatory Tracker.

On the level of platforms for client operating systems such as Windows and Android, open standards have fostered innovation by allowing technologies like web browsers to be implemented over different underlying platforms,
Google has developed the open source Android operating system and spawned innovation in applications worldwide; Facebook has enabled the building of thousands of apps
developers and social entrepreneurs are innovating with cheap open hardware, open source software, open knowledge, data storage and analytics and are producing valuable data about people, the environment and biometric and sensor data.
This vision requires more investment in fundamental research to promote net-neutrality, strong encryption, banning of trivial patents, open standards and free software together with the multi-stakeholder governance model.

CITIZENS ENGAGEMENT AND FEEDBACK 6. Net Neutrality and banning software patents Banning software patents and defending Network Neutrality will keep bottom-up innovation feasible and affordable.
Software packages that are patented can be expensive, and less accessible to potential individual innovators. Also the Internet needs to continue to be a neutral space where creativity can continue to flourish. 7. Gender Equality in DSI Promote gender equality and empowerment of women through ICT in DSI by tackling things such as criteria for funding
and software with experiments to discover better ways of delivering healthcare or reducing carbon emissions.

In effect, open source software should be easy to acquire from government at all levels. Open source procurement As an example, in 2004, the UK government launched
(and reviewed in 2009 and 2010) its policy on ICT32 where special attention was paid to open source procurement.
In this respect, a toolkit was used to ensure that there is a level playing field for open source and that some of the myths associated with open source are dispelled.
Participating in open procurement calls should be made easy. Public procurement of innovative solutions Commissioning tools could also be set up to see
if the deployment of the DSI strategy across Europe is meeting the needs of their target beneficiaries (entrepreneurs, business, developers, citizens and other communities).
and all public-funded software should use open standards. For a definition of open standards, see Openstand Principles48 Public sector information should be made available under an open knowledge license
It can also include the development of open source mobile phone alternatives such as Fairphone69 on top of which a whole new open ecosystem of services and applications could flourish, based on open-source and open-hardware developments.
