Read More Background: Many changes have been made in different sciences by developing and advancinginformation and communication technology in last two decades. E‑health is a very broad term thatincludes many different activities related to the use of electronic devices, software as well as hardwarein health organizations. Aims: The aim of this study is comparing electronic health indicators in theselected countries and discussion on the best indicators. Settings and Design: This study haschosen 12 countries randomly based on the regional division of the WHO. The relevant numbersof health indicators and general indicators and information technology indicators are extractedof these countries. We use data from the Bitarf’s comparative study, which is conducted by theIranian Supreme Council of Information Technology in 2007. Materials and Methods: By usingPearson correlation test, the relations between health general indicators and IT indicators arestudied. Statistical Analysis Used: Data was analyzed based on the research objectives usingSPSS software and in accordance with research questions Pearson correlation test were used.Results: The findings show that there is a positive relation between indicators related to IT and“Total per capita health, healthy life expectancy, percent literacy”. Furthermore, there is a mutualrelation between IT indicators and “mortality indicator”. Conclusion: This study showed differencesbetween selective indicators among different countries. The modern world, with its technologicaladvances, is not powerless in the face of these geographic and health disparity challenges.Researchers must not rely on the available indicators. They must consider indicators like e‑businesscompanies, electronic data internet, medical supplies, health electronic record, health informationsystem, etc., In future, continuous studies in this field, to provide the exact and regular reports ofamount of using of these indicators through different countries must be necessary.
