Background
Since there is no specific treatment for coronavirus, there is an urgent need for global monitoring of people with Covid-19. The use of e-health services should be compatible with the diagnosis and control of the outbreak of zoonotic infectious diseases. The aim of this study is to provide a conceptual model based on health information technology services for Covid-19 disease management.
Methods
The present study is an applied descriptive study that was performed on a cross-sectional basis in a COVID-19 Center Hospital in Fars province of IRAN country in April 2020. The main tool of this research is a questionnaire that has been compiled by reviewing related articles in databases and surveying with experts in order to determine the necessary services in the management and control model of the prevalence of Covid19 disease. Then, in order to determine the necessary services in the conceptual model, this questionnaire was given to various specialists in the COVID-19 Center Hospital. Finally, based on the results of the questionnaire, a comprehensive conceptual model for the management and control of COVID 19 diseases is presented.
Results
The proposed model consisted of three layers of cloud computing, fog and data acquisition. All services were approved by the surveyed participants. Among the services, Tele- monitoring for home quarantine, Electronic self-assessment, Telepsychology of patients in home and hospital quarantine, Tele prescription, Tele- information Tele- training have the highest agreement rate. proposed model is an integrated model. The innovation that can be mentioned in this research is the use of priority queue service as a service of the fog layer.
Conclusion
Information communication technology tools have an important role in all aspects of contagious diseases management.
