The importance of health information technicians in the transformation of digital health
Keywords:
Health information technicians, Digital transformation, Patient information security, Healthcare technologyAbstract
Background: The "digital health" or "Healthcare 4.0 (H4.0)" movement has grown, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Digitalization promises better data processing and decision-making for efficiency, effectiveness, and patient care, yet research shows limitations. Many studies concentrate on individual digital technology or conceptual assessments, ignoring the larger influence of digital transformation on hospital administration and support workers. A few studies have examined the drivers and challenges to digital technology adoption in non-clinical professions like management and administration, which are essential for healthcare efficiency. This article aims to examine the impact of digital technologies on healthcare administration and highlight the essential role of health information. Methods: This literature review examined health information technicians in healthcare's digital revolution. Out of 150 papers found in PubMed, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore, 70 satisfied the inclusion criteria. Key data elements such study methodology, sample size, and noteworthy health information technician outcomes in digital health were extracted. Thematic analysis was used to discover themes and patterns in data management, patient information security, health information technicians in healthcare technology, and administrative efficiency. Results: Health information technicians are crucial to digital health's problems and prospects, according to the report.
