Digitalizing healthcareHow to build a digital enterprise

We believe healthcare will be digital. But unstructured data and a lack of analytical capability keep providers from unlocking the full potential of their organizations. By managing data as a strategic asset, providers will gain unprecedented insight into clinical and non-clinical processes. They will be able to leverage powerful analytical tools, including AI technologies, to improve decision making. Digital technologies will bring patients and care teams closer together. A cultural shift to a digital mindset, coupled with new technology, will enable development of a continuously improving learning health system.

Digitalizing healthcare is the key enabler for Expanding precision medicine, Transforming care delivery, and Improving patient experience.

Ultimately, digitalizing healthcare enables providers to achieve better outcomes at lower costs. To make this possible four steps are critical:

• Manage data as a strategic asset
  Digitize operations, from paper-based to paper-less. Integrate accurate data from disparate sources. Create a holistic understanding of patients and enterprise visibility with digital twins.

• Empower data-driven decisions
  Simplify workflows and enable decision support on patient- and enterprise level by leveraging analytics, benchmarking insights and using AI-companions.

• Connect care teams and patients
  Connect caregivers and patients for better coordination and knowledge sharing. Strengthen integrated care across the health system.

• Build a learning health system
  Continuously optimize, expand and advance digital adoption, enterprise performance and patient outcomes. Digitalizing healthcare is a culture, not a project.
