Healthcare organizations seem to be lagging behind digital transformation first mover organizations, but recent increases in expenditures for digital technologies in healthcare organizations is changing how services are provided in many countries. Information technologists and systems designers have offered some creative ideas related to personal health records (PHR) and electronic health records (EHR), to healthcare analytics, and to decision support and artificial intelligence, but healthcare is yet to be transformed. Rather IT professionals and healthcare managers have been digitizing existing healthcare processes, i.e., "paving the cow paths". This approach is inadequate. Digital transformation requires 1) a reexamination of processes in terms of need, efficiency, and effectiveness, 2) a data-based decision making perspective and culture, 3) a "smarter", "better" set of integrated information technologies, and 4) education and training for key stakeholders, i.e. healthcare professionals, patients, and administrators.

Power & Heavin (2018) argue "Digital disruption is accelerating. Implementing a successful digital transformation strategy requires that senior managers make trade-off decisions to reinvent a business. Equally important all decision makers must learn to ask the right questions, use data and computer support in decision making, and increase their knowledge and skills. Creating a data-centric culture and rewarding data-based decision making leads to successful digital transformation."
