Professional practices for digital healthcare

Digital health is quickly becoming an integral part of healthcare services. Research evidence suggests that digital health can benefit stakeholders involved in healthcare including patients and care providers. As digital health continues to integrate into routine healthcare, practitioners may require new knowledge, skills, and competencies to make the best use of it and to be able to communicate with an increasingly digitally enabled consumer. While much effort has been made to systematic education and training relating to digital health, which is an important aspect in developing the digital health workforce, it is important that governments and health systems consider digital health education and training as an important element in the process of implementing digital health within health services. Digital health education must be given its due recognition and support so that the future heath workforce has an opportunity to develop required knowledge and skills relating to digital health

Cloud computing for teaching practice: a new design?

Recently researchers have shown an increased interest in cloud computing technology. It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore cloud computing technology in education context. However rapid changes in information technology are having a serious effect on teaching framework designs. So far, however, there has been little discussion about cloud computing benefits in domains of teaching frameworks which propels us to study and redesign teaching frameworks considering cloud computing. The purpose of this paper is to review recent research into cloud computing and features which can be improved with this new technology. This paper studied several researches through literature to determine the main impact of cloud computing on "planning and preparation" and "instruction" domains as two main domains of teaching framework. Light will be then shed on the impact and potential benefits of cloud computing on teaching framework. The paper closes by proposing to design an evaluation table based on cloud computing artifacts to enhance teaching practice and highlights its offerings for educational institutions
