Digitalization of Health Care : Findings from Key Informant Interviews in Sweden on Technical, Regulatory, and Patient Safety Aspects

Ekman, Björn LU orcid ; Thulesius, Hans LU ; Wilkens, Jens LU and Arvidsson, Eva (2022) In Journal of Medical Internet Research 24(9).
Abstract
Over the past few decades, digital technologies for health care have been introduced to improve effectiveness, reduce costs, and enhance access [1]. The case for digital health care increased dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic [2,3]. However, less is known about some of the broader conditions under which these technologies would be able to contribute to improving health care [4]. To inform policy development from a national perspective, we conducted key informant interviews around 3 domains of digitalization: (1) infrastructure and skills, (2) regulatory considerations, and (3) patient safety and quality of care (see, for example, Desveaux et al [4]).
