Digital transformation in health care is no longer an option – it is a necessity, albeit hard, requires careful planning and guidance. Healthcare leaders should move in a vast and interrelated technology scene that includes artificial intelligence, digital twins, Blockchain, “smart dust” (miniature sensors) and various constituent infrastructure components, including wireless networks, cybersecurity, rear resources and peripherals-all guarantees compliance with multiple organizations.
How can institutions give priority and the strategy of digital transformation?
Organized approach to digital progress
“You should not re -invent the wheel,” said Dr. Raid Al -Hazmi, Executive Director of the Ministry of Information Technology at the Ministry of National Health Affairs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. “You can only follow the wheel that has been invented a long time ago and has been repeatedly repeated through the experience of the actual digital health organization in the world.”
Alhazme refers to the maturity of the HIMSS Information and Care Association (HIMSS), which is used by many health care providers to successfully implement digital capabilities. HIMSS has developed six entitled models, each of which deals with different aspects of health care and providing institutions with clear criteria to understand their current position and draw their way forward:
- Electronic Medical Register Accreditation Form (EMRAM): Emrs accredit and use to support patients and doctors.
- The adoption form for maturity of analyzes (AMAM): It measures analyzes and data governance, assisting in real time and adopting artificial intelligence.
- Inframe adoption form: It helps to improve technology infrastructure to meet international standards.
- Society Care Form (C-ComM): Digital maturity is evaluated through non -acute societal treatments.
- Digital imaging form (diameter): Supports improvement of digital imaging.
- CCMM Patient care coordination is evaluated through multiple sites and settings.
King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, consists of several facilities. Under the leadership of the firm, the medical center achieved a remarkable digital entitlement, as many facilities reached the highest levels of maturity in Himsss for Emram, Amam, Infram, Diam and C-Comm, which achieved the first global level in stage 6 in 39 clinics.
What is the model you should use first?
The model is based on adopting first on individual hospital services. For hospitals with limited resources, Alhazme recommends to start Emram if the focus is on internal patient services and emergency care. However, for organizations that are primarily providing outpatient services, such as dialysis centers or elderly care homes, it suggests starting C-Comm.
For specialized facilities, Alhazme recommends adapting the approach more: “If it depends heavily on photography, let’s say the center of the heart, it will be attractive to go with their diameter more than one imamate, because the heart depends heavily on the laboratory laboratories and the heartfelt rays.”
Success key: preservation of momentum
The key to successful implementation, according to Alhazme, lies in maintaining momentum and securing the appropriate states. “In healthcare organizations, it is difficult to change things, and this is understandable – everyone is busy with patients.” He added that the nature of HIMSS maturity forms helps to create and preserve momentum, as stakeholders are invested in progress within each level.
He said that Al -Hazmi appreciates how the HIMSS entertainment models provide the implementation authority: “It really gives you the ability to obtain everyone’s cooperation.” “Compared to the exit of blue without any structure or external mandate, these models provide a clear framework for change.”
The main benefit of the organized approach in the digital transformation provided by the HIMSS merits is that it enables institutions to measure and measure their current state of digitization and return the calibration every time it ends from a level of 1 to 7 scale.
HIMSS MDA will be offered in Himss Europe 2025 in Paris, which is held on June 10-12, in the Roatmereity Dignation Maps. Participants will also be able to obtain more information and samples from the surveys to evaluate digital maturity. See the full program.
