Digital transformation is bringing massive changes to the healthcare industry through technologies like connected hospitals, wearables, telemedicine, and big data analytics. This shift provides an opportunity to address major societal challenges through improved communication between patients and healthcare providers. While the effects so far are just the beginning, digitalization will fundamentally change how healthcare is delivered and accessed. The future will include new models for prevention, outpatient care, and synchronizing patient data across networks and organizations to raise the overall quality of healthcare.

EY Health 4.0
Digital transformation in health care
Patient
Connected hospital
It will change our world, it will change how
we think, it will change how we live. The
onus is on us to shape this change and be
the builders of a better working world.
The effects of digitalization we are currently
seeing in the health sector are just the tip of
the iceberg. The future impact on society,
insurance companies, hospitals, physicians
and patients will be enormous. Nevertheless,
this shift is an opportunity to solve major
challenges our society will be facing. New
channels of communication will transform
how patients interact with physicians, hospitals
and insurance companies.
There will be new ways to enhance prevention
and faster and more effective procedures for
synchronizing data, e.g., in outpatient care.
The EY Health team sees this as part of its
mission and its purpose. Health 4.0 will
connect organizations and enhance the
efficiency of patient-related processes to
raise the quality of health care to the
next level. That is our mission, that is
our purpose, that is EY Health – building
a better working world.
Digitalization will bring the biggest change our generation has ever seen.
