Standardised software interface in the healthcare sector and centralised digital courseware databases in education urgently need to be improved, according to a survey by the Digital Economy Promotion Agency (Depa). Mrs Kasititorn says having a similar interface for health information software, compatibility across different software vendors and a single data format will accelerate the process of reimbursement. The agency recently conducted two surveys on "Software Usage in Core Industries 2016" in the health and education sectors. It is encouraging IT utilisation in healthcare and education to narrow inequality in both sectors, said Kasititorn Pooparadai, Depa senior executive vice-president. "Having a similar interface for health information software, compatibility across different software vendors and a single data format will accelerate the process of reimbursement," said Mrs Kasititorn.
