ABSTRACT
The concept of digital transformation remains a complex issue for organizations across industries. The ever evolving technological innovations that enhance processes of all types provide attractive opportunities along with disruptive forces. The essential underpinning to digitalization lies, of course, in the effective implementation of those technologies that provide the functionality that users find value in. However, digitization is not a plug and play initiative.

This chapter provides a description of the attributes that healthcare providers should understand when implementing evolving technologies, in order to more effectively leverage the data resources that are produced.
