Conference,
Interoperability issues for the Deployment of Unified Communications and Integrated Collaborations System in the Health Sector of Developing Countries: A case of Uganda
(2013)
Abstract
everybody despite where they are living. This
research is to be carried out in respect of the people living in
developing countries, considering their plight and complex
geographical, demographic, social-economic conditions
surrounding the areas they live, which hinder access to
information and of professionals providing services such as
medical workers, which has led to high death rates and
development
stagnation.
Research
on
Unified
Communications and Integrated Collaborations (UCIC)
system in the health sector of developing countries comes in
to create a possible solution of bridging the digital canyon
among the communities. The aim is to deliver services in a
seamless manner to assist health workers situated anywhere
to be accessed easily and access information which will help
in service delivery. The proposed UCIC system provides the
most immersive telepresence experience for one-to-one or
many-to-many meetings. Extending to locations anywhere in
the world, the transformative platform delivers Ultra-low
operating costs through the use of general purpose networks
and using special lenses and track systems. The aim of this
paper is to identify the interoperability issues anticipated in
the deployment of the UCIC system in the health sector of
developing countries and recommend possible solutions. These
recommendations once adopted and implemented correctly
will bring enhancement to the speed and quality of services
offered by health workers. The capacities of UCIC will help
health workers shorten decision cycles, accelerate service
delivery and save lives by speeding access to information and
by making it possible for all health workers and patients to
collaborate everywher
