Empowering the health workforce: Strategies to make the most of the digital revolution

Digital transformation in the health sector is not a simple matter of technical change, but requires adaptive change in human attitudes and skills as well as of legal frameworks and the organisation of work . To address the barriers to successful digital transformation governments will need to provide the necessary political leadership and implement a range of policy actions to support three main objectives:

  1. building trust in the benefits of digital transformation among health workers and patients while
    minimising any risks;
  2. advancing expertise and skills needed for effective use of digital health technologies;
  3. adapting the organisation of health service delivery and the related legal and financial
    frameworks.
