Health care and Digital transformation go hand in hand, and patient care has been elevated to levels that were deemed unachievable until a few years. Some see digital transformation and digitization as a stepping stone to reduce excessive healthcare expenditure. Digital transformation is not just about buying new technologies and latest tools that can ease the process of healthcare procedures, but it is also about changing the operational process in the healthcare sector and making it more automatic and efficient.

Digital transformation focuses more on information handling. If the information gathered from modern digital devices can be channelized effectively, it can be structured to give automated responses to the existing and upcoming health problems. Merely purchasing a technology will not produce any result. There must be a plan about how we are going to use that technology to engage with the whole process of health care revamp.

By innovating in digital health and care we can support our ambition towards:

• Reducing inefficiencies in healthcare delivery
• Improving access
• Reducing costs
• Increasing the quality of care
• Making our health services more person-centered
• Personalizing medicine for each patient’s unique needs

Successful companies build capabilities to strategize, develop, and scale new business models. Companies must have an integrated approach - the supporting organizational structure, talent, culture, tools, and techniques all need to be aligned.
