Public Hospitals
|
Digital hospital concept was recommended by the Ministry of Health or
the Provincial Health Directorate.
|
Under the leadership of a chief physician, the team was formed with
members from different branches.
|
Initial trainings were provided to a few specialties who were willing to
adopt digital transformation in their units.
Training programs were provided to all units
Adaptation was much quicker among nurses than physicians
|
Digitalization of healthcare services have been widely used by most
departments except for emergency and intensive care units for hospitals
with level 6 HIMMS EMRAM certification.
HIMMS EMRAM Level 7 certification requires digitalization of all units
in the hospital.
|
Private Hospitals
|
HIMMS EMRAM certification was not the goal of private hospitals.
Digitalization of healthcare services were directed by the owner or the
board of directors.
|
The digital transformation office carried out the digitalization
process
|
Internal and external training programs were provided to all
departments.
Initially resistance was seen among physicians
|
Extensive digitalization requires significant investment.
Tele-medicine was the focus of private hospitals.
