Abstract
AbstractThe digitization in healthcare faces challenges in LMICs. The success of digital tools depends on having a workforce capable of designing, implementing, and maintaining such tools. Relevant training of professional staff and familiarisation with new tasks are crucial processes for the optimization of digital tools’ performance. In the broader context, interdisciplinary and interprofessional healthcare interventions often focus on outcomes such as length of stay, readmission rates and/or mortality. However, the effects of digital health interventions on these outcomes have been inconsistent in low-and middle-income countries. The current chapter discusses identified challenges in different digital health implementation models. Addressing these challenges and conducting further research and evaluation can contribute to successfully implementing digitization and process optimization in healthcare settings, leading to improved patient outcomes and quality of care.
