Current Challenges of Digitalization in Healthcare Industry

As with any change management, Digital Transformation has its own set of challenges. I would categorize these into three areas, Technology, Operations, and Cost. Integrating with multiple IT systems, finding a qualified implementation partner, legacy issues, very few single platform solutions in the market. Cultural change, especially with senior doctors, ground staff, and as an irony the IT department who have to drive this initiative, have a tough time in subscribing to this concept. Digital Transformation is cost intensive and has to be considered as an expense towards digital infrastructure, to develop, maintain and upgrade.
