(1) to consider, as appropriate, options to collaborate with

relevant stakeholders, including national authorities, relevant ministries,

health care providers, and academic institutions, in order to draw up a

road map for implementation of ehealth and health data standards at

national and subnational levels;

(2) to consider developing, as appropriate, policies and

legislative mechanisms linked to an overall national eHealth strategy, in

order to ensure compliance in the adoption of ehealth and health data

standards by the public and private sectors, as appropriate, and the

donor community, as well as to ensure the privacy of personal clinical

data;

Summary

• There is a dearth of health informatics research in Thailand

• There are various research topics that are important to Thailand’s eHealth

• Organizing topics by eHealth components is useful (but may supplement by other structures)

• Publishing research agenda may facilitate more research in this field & may also influence funding agencies

• Next steps: prioritizing research agenda, developing teams & networks to conduct research
