Abstract

Digital transformations have taken place in various industry sectors such as banking and finance or in the automotive and manufacturing arenas. In all instances, these digital transformations have enabled the organisations in the respective industry to streamline processes, reduce inefficiencies, improve quality and provide high value products and services. Healthcare to date, has been a noted laggard in embracing the digital transformation and it is only more recently with the advent of EMRs and the COVID 19 pandemic that this sector is now turning to emerging technologies to explore the possibilities of a digital transformation. Given that healthcare is such a data rich and information intensive industry in which pertinent information and germane knowledge need to be available at the point of care to effect superior clinical decisions that in turn lead to optimal clinical outcomes, high value and a positive patient experience; it is unlikely that the full potential of the digital transformation can be realised in healthcare without simultaneously embracing 5G.
