Abstract
In order to traverse the digital frontier, a socio-technical review of Indonesia's NHS e-health strategy identifies important obstacles and suggests a cutting-edge socio-technical model to direct future initiatives. The research examined technological interoperability issues and socio-organizational hurdles while analyzing the NHS's e-health plan within pre-existing frameworks and international best practices. Significant obstacles were identified by the findings, including budgetary limitations, cybersecurity risks, and clinical opposition. A new socio-technical paradigm was put out that advocates a change in emphasis from EHRs to inter-organizational clinical and social care workflow optimization. The model incorporates elements of “lifecycle” and “purpose.” The approach advocated developing national standards and infrastructure in conjunction with government budgetary support, with a focus on interoperability and cybersecurity. This calculated reorientation ensures a comprehensive and long-lasting change in the healthcare environment by offering a path forward for upcoming e-health projects in Indonesia.
