From Assessment to Optimisation: A Roadmap for Digital Transformation
Transitioning from paper to digital requires a clear strategy. The American Hospital Association’s Digital Adoption Framework outlines three phases:
Phase 1: Assessment (2-3 months)
- Conduct a document audit.
- Analyse paper-related expenses (£8-£10 per patient).
- Survey staff on paper usage.
Phase 2: Digital Transformation (6-8 months)
- Train staff (8-10 hours per member).
- Implement digital tools, prioritising high-paper areas like discharge and admin workflows.
Phase 3: Optimisation (Ongoing)
- Monitor progress and refine workflows.
- Engage staff for feedback to ensure sustained adoption.
Rapid Deployment Options
Modern tools allow hospitals to digitise operations within 72 hours, offering immediate savings and minimal disruption.
