Organizations everywhere are embracing the digital transformation that is making its way around the world. It is no different for healthcare. Their systems have become increasingly digitized since the late 1960s, but in the last decade progress has accelerated, expanded in scope, and been given a huge boost by the pandemic. The World Economic Forum brought this interesting information to our attention in their article, “How can countries achieve digital maturity in healthcare?“
Digital technologies have allowed policymakers, caregivers, and patients the ability to make informed decisions to better manage healthcare delivery before and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic was an accelerator of shifting consumer preferences and care-delivery innovation.
While the digital transformation journey is long, health systems are focusing on interim milestones to show value. Health systems acknowledge that the transformation journey is longer than they had initially expected, since both the opportunities and definition of digital transformation have expanded. They consider digital capabilities a path to fundamentally transform their relationship with consumers.
A controlled vocabulary is needed to ensure that the machine-assisted or fully automated indexing is comprehensive, regardless of what is indexed. Access Innovations is one of a very small number of companies able to help its clients generate ANSI/ISO/W3C-compliant taxonomies to make their information findable.
