Background: Rural populations experience ongoing health inequities with disproportionately high morbidity and mortality rates, but digital health in rural settings is poorly studied. Our research question was: How does digital health influence healthcare outcomes in rural settings? The objective was to identify how digital health capability enables the delivery of outcomes in rural settings according to the quadruple aims of healthcare: population health, patient experience, healthcare costs and provider experience.
Methods: A multi-site qualitative case study was conducted with interviews and focus groups performed with healthcare staff (n = 93) employed in rural healthcare systems (n = 10) in the state of Queensland, Australia.
Background: Digital healthcare aims to deliver on the quadruple aim: enhance patient experiences, improve population health, reduce costs and improve provider experiences. Despite large investments, it is unclear how advancing digital health enables these healthcare aims.
Objective: Our objectives were to: 1) measure the correlation between digital capability and health system outcomes mapped to the quadruple aim, and 2) measure the longitudinal impact of electronic medical record implementations upon health system outcomes.
Background: Health care organizations understand the importance of new technology implementations; however, the best strategy for implementing successful digital transformations is often unclear. Digital health maturity assessments allow providers to understand the progress made toward technology-enhanced health service delivery. Existing models have been criticized for their lack of depth and breadth because of their technology focus and neglect of meaningful outcomes.
