Abstract
By February 2019, thirty million citizens will get Health-Card across Pakistan, which is the best example of E-Health systems becoming popular in Pakistan, said the Minister for National Health Services. However, User E-Readiness (UER) for E-Health (EH) is founded on users' digital literacy and acceptance of digital health services. It also depends on the user perceptions about the problems and prospects of EH. It is assumed that UER determines the success of the EH system in the country and simultaneously reduces the dependence on the traditional healthcare services (THC). Becoming a practical user needs some time to know and use digital gadgets and thereby access online services. This study measures the UER, knowledge, and practices of EH and their current relationship with THC. The Study confirms that UER is significantly and positively related to EH. The study also reveals that there is a significant and negative association between UER and THC meaning that as UER increases, the negative variation happens in THC. Further, demographic impacts of gender are critical with statistics showing that Males are scoring higher on UER and EH, but Females give a higher score on THC. There is a need to increase UER so that EH could be utilized at maximum thereby helping the government in her inability to provide physical healthcare facilities everywhere across the country.
