E-Health Grid Network Topology Based on Province in Indonesia

Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has enhanced human life including in health care. Consequently, professional workers in the field of health services are required to improve productivity, accuracy, efficiency and service. The use of ICT for health purposes is known as e-Health. The development of e-Health can use the grid technology for resource sharing and interoperability. The technology can process a very large data for parallel computation. It can also be used to facilitate health practitioners and researchers in the field of health, including to find a new virus, discovery new drugs, disease, an image of organs and to determine the actions for a patient. As an archipelago country where many health services centers distributed in the country, Indonesia needs an appropriate model of e-Health Grid. AS preliminary study, this paper proposes an eHealth Grid network topology based on the province in Indonesia.
