Resumen
Descripción
In mature health systems, emerging
health innovations require an adaptive and robust regulatory
regime, alongside accreditation standards that are useful to
consumers, to scale effectively. New health care modalities,
including mobile apps and telehealth, can help countries
expand high-quality patient-centered care while responding
to demographic changes. However, despite the potential
usefulness of these innovative tools, most remain outside
the scope of regulatory bodies, are not subject to quality
or safety standards, and vary widely in their compliance
with best practice. Inappropriate or misaligned regulatory
regimes can also create unnecessary constraints to both
cost-effective provision options such as telehealth, and
also labor force mobility across sub-national and national borders.
