Abstract

This book chapter investigates the impact of digitalization on healthcare quality in selected non-OECD countries, aligning with SDG-1's focus on ICT for progress. It creates digital infrastructure and public health indices and analyzes WHO eHealth survey data (2010-2023) through regression analysis. Variables include ICT, health expenditure, mortality life expectancy, causes of mortality, maternal and infant mortality, number of physicians, number of nurses available and caring personnel, hospital bed size, Primary care, patient experience, patient safety, and Number of Hospital healthcare indicators. The findings suggest that GDP and health expenditure positively influence life expectancy in selected non-OECD countries economies. The chapter aims to guide policies to enhance healthcare quality and patient experience. Despite its strengths in practical policy-making and achieving SDGs, it emphasizes the importance of digital healthcare for accessibility and usability, suggesting further research directions in the field.
