Digital Transformation for Quality Care
Technology and digital tools have been shaping health care and the health sector in an exponential rate during the last few decades. Even more so they have shifted the perception of what health care can be. As with many other aspects in public health and health care the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this process and placed the critical role of digital health in the limelight, however, disparities in digital transformation still do exist.
In the third episode of The Fourth Dimension,we discuss with Dr Henrique Martinshow digital health can be a significant enabler to achieve health goals, improve quality of care, as well as promote and safeguard health equality. Also, we look into how the WHO Athens Office for Quality of Care and Patient Safety can support Member States and stakeholders towards achieving these goals.
