Source: PWC, March 005 A fully digital hospital would not produce or use paper records. It would have digital imaging, order transmission, clinical notes and other aspects of the electronic health record. It would have integrated supply chain management and integrated revenue cycle management. Don t focus on a technical or engineered vision; this process is not comparable to constructing a dam or a building. It can t be context free how do you define success? You must build a vision with the technology. The digital hospital must have a care vision and a process vision. A digital hospital means all digital, with EMR, CPOE, PACS and labs that dump into EMR. A digital hospital should be as paperless and wireless as you can make it. A digital hospital needs to be defined in chunks because healthcare is a grouping of so many different businesses. Typically you try to automate systems from a patient-experience point of view. The digital hospital could be paperless, but many will still have some paper and some film. Either way, it is an iterative process. The digital hospital is an effort, a spectrum, and a concept. It is a process of managing more by computer and less by manual processes. A digital hospital is the use of electronic information beyond administrative and billing purposes really integrating electronic information into the clinical aspects of the delivery of care. A digital hospital makes use of electronic information to provide the highest quality status and most efficient care possible. A digital hospital uses digital technology for communications, tracking and information flow.
