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