Challenges to address with digital transformation in healthcare
The outburst of the global pandemic has put to test national healthcare systems worldwide and underscored the need for across-the-board adoption of medtech software by organizations in the field. However, many facilities still struggle with implementing healthcare digital transformation, the process of which is significantly hamstrung by a number of challenges they face.
Internal resistance
As it happens in other conservative domains, innovative initiatives in medicine often have to overcome reluctance or at least the absence of due diligence from old-school clinicians and administrative staff, which hampers or slows down the digital transformation process.
Data silos and interoperability
When medical information about a patient is kept in isolated (mostly on-premises) environments or legacy systems incompatible with novel solutions, it creates a block for the exchange of critical data between specialists or departments and doesn’t allow them to create a 360-degree view of people’s health.
Data privacy and security
An exponential growth of the amount of data related to patients’ health, facilities where it is stored, and channels via which it is transmitted raise the issue of its reliable protection since wrongdoers can exploit such sensitive information in case of leakage.
A shift in service delivery models
The practice of medical service delivery is increasingly drifting towards comprehensive telehealth harnessing when doctors and patients solve issues in remote mode via cutting-edge communication tools.
Lack of tech skills
Modern medical specialists need adequate IT proficiency to handle professional digital solutions, which spells extensive training programs they have to undergo and complete.
Budget limitations
Digital transformation is a big-ticket item requiring considerable investment in medtech solutions that must display superb excellence since the life of people often depends on their seamless functioning.
