Abstract: The implementation of E-Health systems, particularly Telemedicine, is a crucial aspect of the National Transformation Program (NTP) in Saudi Arabia. This paper examines the strategic implementation of a new E-Health system, focusing on the Saudi Telemedicine Network (STN) and its potential to enhance healthcare delivery across urban and rural areas. E-Health encompasses a range of technologies designed to improve healthcare efficiency, quality, and accessibility. The paper outlines the goals of E-Health, including improving patient access, reducing wait times, and enhancing patient self-management. It also highlights the organizational benefits such as increased patient satisfaction and reduced operational costs. Despite its advantages, the paper identifies significant barriers to successful implementation, including technological, financial, and cultural challenges. Recommendations for overcoming these barriers are provided, emphasizing the need for a clear vision, robust financial planning, effective infrastructure, and comprehensive training. The paper concludes that while E-Health offers substantial benefits, its success depends on addressing both organizational and client-related challenges effectively.
