IMPACT OF DIGITALISATION ON THE ORGANISATION AND MANAGEMENT OF HEALTHCARE IN HEALTH FACILITIES
Keywords:
digitalisation, health care, patient safetyAbstract
With the rapid development of digital technologies, enormous benefit from the introduction of digitalization in health care is reported. It contributes considerably to the improvement of the quality of healthcare and ensuring the safety of the patients. There are certain risks related to its implementation which could exert influence on its effectiveness.
In the present article some of the essential aspects related to the application of digital technologies in healthcare institutions are described.
Despite some obvious disadvantages, digitalisation has the potential to reduce to the minimum the total amount of critical events which endanger patient safety. It provides simultaneously the technical support and control, creates organisation of the workflow and optimum working conditions. Improvement of the overall activity of the medical teams, effective organisation and management of the healthcare institutions is reported as a significant result of its effective functioning
