Benefits of Digital Transformation in Healthcare for Patients and Organizations 

The World Economic Forum gives a great perspective on what digital transformation in healthcare means:

“It happens when interactions among institutions and clients help enable positive changes in the health information system. It is more of an organizational change and it enables improvement in health systems agility, thereby improving operational excellence and patient experience, as well as reducing costs.” 

At the same time, Deloitte highlights that digital transformation rests on three key pillars: Products, Services, and Experiences; Digital Enterprise; and Digital Core. The first pillar is all about meeting the needs of everyone involved—from patients to care teams. The second, Digital Enterprise, focuses on solving internal challenges, like modernizing how you retain talent or improving financial performance. The third pillar is where technology comes in, providing the tools that make the other two pillars possible.

Digital Transformation Opportunity Spaces and Priority Areas

Nazar Kvartalnyi, our COO, draws a helpful analogy:

“Digital transformation is a lot like building a house. You lay the foundation brick by brick. The first step is understanding the needs of your patients and staff—that’s the foundation. Without it, you can’t build anything solid. Then come your operational strategies; they’re the walls that create a secure and efficient space for your organization to thrive. And finally, the technology solutions are like the plumbing and electrical systems. They keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes, helping your ‘house’ function as it should.”

Deloitte even put some numbers behind this. For instance, they estimate that by implementing conversational AI and self-service options, a medium-sized hospital system that fields 4 million calls a year could save between $4 million and $12 million annually. And a health plan with 500,000 Medicare Advantage members could potentially generate up to $150 million in additional revenue by investing in personalization strategies.

To make things easier, we’ve created a table that clearly shows how digital transformation can benefit both healthcare organizations and their patients.
