Digital transformation is driving innovation in healthcare, creating new models and cultures and enhancing processes and user experiences. Yet with so many disparate sectors and providers – from pharmaceuticals, medical devices and hospitals to health insurers and regulatory authorities – the path to transformation will be as complex as the industry itself. To get there, today’s healthcare leaders must understand new technologies in healthcare and how they can be harnessed to rethink the way services are designed and delivered.
Digital Transformation in Healthcare is a 9-week programme from Imperial Executive Education that’s designed to provide these insights. Through an expansive exploration of the core technologies enabling digital transformation in healthcare and the trends, challenges and opportunities they present, you’ll gain the knowledge and tools to strategise your own implementation plans and ensure their success.
The Digital Transformation in Healthcare programme offers an expansive exploration of the core technologies that support digital transformation in healthcare. At the end of the programme, you will be able to:
Describe the key technologies associated with digital health transformation.
Explore the role of digital health technologies in shaping future models of healthcare.
Describe the differences in digital transformation in different types of healthcare organisations: primary and secondary care providers, drug companies and insurers and payers.
Identify the challenges, success factors and approaches to the implementation of digital health innovation.
Hands-on simulation activity using the Simul8 platform
Knowledge check activities, discussions and reflection activities to validate the understanding of key concepts
Live office hours with learning facilitators
Reflect on your learnings during the programme, and build a customised playbook
Learn from a diverse cohort of peers
The Digital Transformation in Healthcare programme is designed for:
Mid-level business/functional managers and C-suite executives looking to future-proof their teams and strategies with a practical understanding of key uses of technology for advancing healthcare system goals
Clinical leaders interested in advancing healthcare service delivery, patient outcomes and operational productivity
Consultants or entrepreneurs looking to identify strategies to advance healthcare system goals and provide innovative products and solutions that directly address critical healthcare opportunities
Having the opportunity to simulate healthcare scenarios by changing different care parameters can provide an illuminating look at the effect digital innovations can have on healthcare outcomes.
Use the Simul8 platform to complete an ongoing disease progression simulation focused on sepsis, a condition that’s more common than heart attacks and one that can be difficult to diagnose and treat.
Test different improvement interventions, and anticipate the impact they will have on factors such as length of stay, cost and mortality.
Discover best practices you can take back and implement within your health system.
