尽管信息通信技术已成为参与以信息为基础的社会的先决条件，但在社会工作和保健领域使用信息通信技术仍处于初级阶段。目前，人们正在推动采用更新的技术来加强实践。这篇文章的目的是强调一些创新的方式，其中信息通信技术已被采用和适应，以增加社会工作的实践。探讨了社会工作者熟练使用新技术的必要性，在医疗保健环境中实施信息通信技术的机会，以及在专业、道德和系统层面的潜在挑战。以现有文献为指导，提出了加强在卫生社会工作中实施信息通信技术的建议和战略。
Despite becoming a prerequisite for participation in an information-based society, the use of information communication technologies (ICT) within social work and health care remains in its infancy. Currently, there is a push to adopt newer technologies to enhance practice. This article aims to highlight some of the innovative ways in which ICT have been adopted and adapted to augment social work practice. The need for social workers to become proficient in the use of newer technologies, opportunities for implementing ICT within a health care setting, and potential challenges at the professional, ethical, and systemic level are explored. Using the available literature as a guide, recommendations and strategies to strengthen implementation of ICTs into health social work are provided.
