Personal Healthcare. Building healthcare systems for the future

Description

Abstract

This paper argues that digital transformation can only bring about the long heard promises when it is designed and delivered in a systematic and comprehensive, ecosystem supporting way. While cultural models like 4P or 6P6, data value enhancing approaches and standards like openEHR or FHIR7 or overall domain-driven design practices support the effort in an ideological way, there is still a need for practical approach that systematizes the digitalization journey while providing actionable recommendations that would support the transition.
