Digital Transformation in Healthcare Healthcare on Demand

Abstract

Digital transformation represents an inevitable aspect of the modern business environment by establishing a new value system that relies on vertical and horizontal value chains, as well as the provision of companies' products and services. A transformation is undertaken through three steps: digital business environment; digital users' experience and digital business models and ecosystem. Health care systems represent perfect systems for digital transformation processes as they are confronted with the challenge to provide their users with the best possible outcomes of health care while reducing costs. The increased number of older and chronically patients, as well as those patients who want to take control of their own health data, represent special challenges. In this case, digital transformation is not only a desirable concept but also a necessary one. This paper presents the concept of digital transformation in healthcare, with a special focus on the key elements of construction that make these processes possible. It also provides an overview of the modern software solution implemented through these processes.
