| خلاصه مقاله | Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has quickly spread globally. Information technology
(IT) can be used in various dimensions to manage COVID-19, and IT tools can facilitate
prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up steps. Despite the importance of
these systems, a lack of efficient use of information technology capacity was observed after
the emergence of the new cases of COVID-19 in Iran. A web-portal can integrate different
services and technologies for patients. An interactive portal is one of the advanced
technologies that these organizations can use for health management. Medical sciences of
universities play a vital surveillance role for enhancing the performance quality of NGOs. A
web-portal can be a collaboration tool between health-related NGOs and medical sciences of
universities. In this study, an interactive portal was developed by NGOs and a university.
NGOs under the supervision and participation of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences’
Center for Social Factors Research in COVID-19 management division of this portal
separated classified information into two sections, informatics and services. This portal is
accessible to the general public, patients, service providers, and, importantly, policymakers
and presents educational and medical research information to all users. For patients and the
general public in high-risk environments, increasing information security, reducing confusion
regarding finding needed information, and facilitating communication are only part of the
portal’s benefit. It seems that web-portal capacity is needed to control COVID-19 in the
digital age. The collaboration of academic and university bodies in the context of health
portals can play key roles for coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this article is
to present E-Interaction between Non-Governmental Organizations related to Health and
Medical University during Covid-19. |
