ABSTRACT

Critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs) are unable to express their own will be due to medical treatments or disease issues. Most of them rely on a health care surrogate to make decisions related to medical interventions, while these interventions are often urgent and critical. In the face of the trend in the technicalities of medicine and the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the promotion of eHealth has accelerated, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has replaced the traditional models of patient care, reducing labor and economic costs. However, the author uses the eHealth literacy lily model and eHealth literacy scale for healthcare professional in a addressing similar situations. Even through adopted a real case in clinical, apply through eHealth literacy lily model and eHealth literacy scale, and provide solutions. In conclusion, eHealth is the current trend, but before implementing it, it is necessary to measure whether the equipment and policies are complete, to avoid ignoring special groups, and to use the eHealth literacy scale to assess the lack of skills of users. Medical personnel must pay more attention. With the rapid development of eHealth, it is important to reflect on its applicability to different ethnic groups and ages instead of implementing it for general usage.
