To facilitate this, an implementation roadmap was adopted that urges countries to prioritize the implementation of NCD interventions that are most appropriate to their specific local and regional context. The roadmap will act as an overarching guide for countries to tackle NCDs via three approaches: (i) Accelerate national responses based on local NCD epidemiology, risk factors and identified barriers and enablers; (ii) Prioritize and scale up the implementation of most impactful and feasible interventions according to the local context; and (iii) Ensure timely, reliable and sustained national data on NCD risk factors and mortality for data driven actions and to strengthen accountability [<span>1</span>].</p><p>With the end date of 2030 for the NCD-GAP fast approaching, the adaptation of proven interventions is likely the most efficient and effective means by which countries can make inroads into NCD control [<span>2</span>]. While investment in continued research and innovation to support such adaptation processes is vital, prior knowledge and experience with the implementation of NCD interventions highlight a series of common principles that—if leveraged—can provide programs for NCD prevention and management with the strongest chance of success.

To understand and address patients' increasingly complicated health-care needs, we need safe access to quality information that is characterized by integrity, reliability, and accuracy [<span>3</span>], and establish mutually beneficial relationships among a multidisciplinary team of professionals [<span>4</span>]. Traditional paper-based clinical workflow produces many issues such as illegible handwriting, inconvenient access, the possibility of computational prescribing errors, inadequate patient hand-offs, and drug administration errors. These problems can lead to medical errors, omissions, and duplications and, ultimately, poor patient outcomes and compromised quality of care [<span>2</span>].</p><p>Electronic health records (EHR) is a major achievement in the health information technology [<span>5</span>]. It is deemed a promising solution to improve the interoperability of patients' information across health-care settings and achieve a more cost-effective, safer, and higher quality of care [<span>3</span>, <span>6</span>]. Electronic medical records (EMR) is a different concept from EHR; thus, the two terms cannot be used interchangeably. The EMR is the official record produced by hospitals and other ambulatory settings that serves as the EHR's data source. EMR is a prerequisite for EHR [<span>7</span>]. EHR refers to systematic documentation of patients' health status and health care in a secured digital format [<span>8</span>]. It indicates that patients' health information can not only be stored but also be transmitted and accessed by authorized interdisciplinary professionals across health-care settings in patients' health-care continuum. In addition, authorized non-health-care professionals, including insurers, the government, and researchers can also have access to patients' health information as well.</p><p>With EHR, patients can have greater autonomy over their care, and clinicians may better understand patients' medical history and coordinate care with other interdisciplinary professionals with fewer barriers [<span>2</span>].

The 2009 health reform did make some significant achievements in improving affordability and accessibility. In particular, social health insurance has been expanded significantly and various social health insurance plans have covered over 95% of total population in China by 2011. The Chinese government also has significantly increased fiscal input for health financing. However, affordability remains a serious concern as the social health insurers, as purchasers, were not very effective in containing the growth of health expenditure. Accessibility to primary care and public health is another concern. In this context, health governance reforms are necessary to address affordability and accessibility issues. Health governance set rules for key actors of the health system (including service providers, health insurers and government departments) by taking into account the strategies and incentives of these actors in their interactions. In recent years, a series of reforms in health governance have been initiated. Some progresses have been achieved.
