What's Next for the Digital Transformation of Healthcare?

The COVID-19 pandemic brought on an era in which nearly every activity of our lives went digital. And while many yearn for a return to pre-pandemic days in the healthcare business, the “new normal” is here to stay with even more progression from digital health (the gathering of information) to data-driven healthcare (actionable decisions based on the data).

Healthcare organizations need to invest further in AI and other related advanced technologies. Clinical workflows will become more agile by virtue of AI and advanced analytics that automate decision-making processes. The emergence of these technologies requires a transformation from digital health to data-driven healthcare, given the fundamental role of data in automated decision making.

The key is to communicate effectively with a seriousness of purpose why these advances matter and how their use will directly maintain and improve patient care.
