Mapping of AeHIN Interest Groups

Summary• Peer-to-peer networks are effective platforms for learning

especially where resources are scarce and the domain is complex.

• Rapid developments in ICT applications in healthcare are often dizzying, confusing, and complex. They can overwhelm policymakers and health practitioners.

• Governance frameworks and standards-based blueprints are helpful in navigating through this complexity.

• When Asian countries share their best practices and lessons • When Asian countries share their best practices and lessons learned –they ride the steep learning curve together, and help each other avoid committing the same mistakes.

• Through the network, best practices are shared and common grounds are found paving the way for regional cooperation and interoperability.
