Figure 4-2. Paths to the digital transformation of healthcare

All three paths require employing transitional and game-changing technologies like artificial intelligence. AI enables digital capabilities previously unimagined. For example, we can employ AI to help people adhere to their medications, to use a person’s voice as a way to search for healthcare services, to evaluate a patient’s specific conditions to determine whether they would be better served by readmission to hospital A versus hospital B, or simply to determine that a patient’s best healthcare outcome will be achieved with a specific provider organization. Al allows us to use empirical evidence for where patients will obtain the best outcomes rather than relying on anecdotal comments on social media sites ranking providers. Many of these capabilities cannot be achieved without the application of AI, and this is only a small, partial list.

Organizations that fail to apply the right AI techniques in deep learning, machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing (to name a few) will not achieve optimal digital healthcare transformation. Often AI alone will not be sufficient. For example, using technologies such as graph databases instead of other database technologies enables organizations to see relationships among data. Seeing the intersection of patients, providers, and clinicians allows organizations to create patient journeys, so that any authorized user can see the steps an individual patient makes as they interact with the healthcare system. Graph and other technologies are discussed in State of Healthcare Technology by Kerrie L. Holley et al. (O’Reilly); this ebook provides a summary of healthcare technologies required for optimizing healthcare and accelerating digital healthcare transformation.

Next, we’ll discuss the three different paths to the digital transformation of healthcare.
