Healthcare Digital Transformation: The Secret Sauce To Your Success

 

What are Digitization, Digitalization, and Digital Transformation?

Digitization is about converting all kinds of information into a digital format; while Digitalization is the process of using advanced technologies to collect, store, retrieve and analyze the digitized information. And, both together constitute the Digital Transformation process.

While it may not be the secret sauce to success, implementing such technologies and practices in health care is the best strategy for everyone involved.

Following are some reasons why:

Manage patient data in a smooth manner.

As all the data is digital in nature, everything from patient details during onboarding, through diagnosis and treatment, to the final patient discharge, can go through smoothly.

Real-time intervention.

Once onboard the healthcare provider can use wearable devices and linked mobile apps to collect, analyze and respond in real-time to patient health data/status. Where the patient physically is, becomes irrelevant.

Error Reduction.

Accurate and accessible data means that errors in medication and procedures drop to zero. 

Shorter Response times.

By collating all data in one place the response times to patient queries are prompt and accurate. 

Standardized Data Formats.

If the digital transformation process follows a standardized format, which it should, then the patient data can be used quickly and effectively. It would not matter who is providing what service and where.

Effective and timely internal and external communication. 

The services of external or independent health specialists can be accessed on a real-time basis; internal staff allocation can be done in an efficient manner; queries from insurance organizations can be handled promptly and of course, accurate billing.
