Transforming Healthcare with DevOps

By: Jeroen Mulder, Henry Mulder

Overview of this book

Healthcare today faces a multitude of challenges, which can be summed up as the barriers architects and consultants face in transforming the healthcare system into a more sustainable one. This book helps you to guide that transformation step by step. You’ll begin by understanding the need for this transformation, exploring related challenges, the possibilities of technology, and how human factors can be involved in digital transformation. The book will enable you to overcome inhibitions and plan various transformation steps using the Transformation into Sustainable Healthcare (TiSH) model and DevOps4Care. Next, you’ll use the observe, orient, decide, and act (OODA) loop as an iterative approach to address all stakeholders and adapt swiftly when situations change. Further, you’ll be able to build shared platforms that enable interaction between various stakeholders, including the technology-enabled care service teams. The final chapters will help you execute the transformation to sustainable healthcare using the knowledge you’ve gained while getting familiar with common pitfalls and learning how to avoid or mitigate them. By the end of this DevOps book, you will have an overview of the challenges, opportunities, and directions of solutions and be on your way toward starting the transformation into sustainable healthcare.

In the previous section, we concluded that we needed to build new systems. Think of SOEs, such as the cockpits and dashboards in aerospace that limit the number of actions that users have to execute and avoid an information overload. Once properly designed, these newly designed systems form a basis to work together with other team members, and if all team members can utilize technology, then we have a TEC team. This will also have an effect on supporting systems.

The different types of storytellers in the team are trained in listening to the users and are able to tell the story to the enabling management and developers of technology. The storytellers must be able to use certain words and concepts in their narrative to be understood. They have learned to use the terms of the activity triangle, but those terms have to be detailed. Although people are not strict, digital transformation requires specific definitions, such as for processes. This is shown...
