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.

After education, it is time to work. MoM TiSH is sending us to the first job.

We studied the principles of shared mental models and applied these to design new platforms as a common ground for building sustainable healthcare – since that’s what this book is all about. In the previous chapter, we elaborated on the Observe-Orient-Decide-Act (OODA) model as the main shared mental model, including the interaction between people, technology, and systems. A platform is more than just a collection of components; it’s the interaction between the components and users that makes it come to life. We will learn all about these interactions in the health journey in this chapter.

We will discuss how the transformation task force can stimulate the community of care teams to share how they interact or want to interact with other actors in the healthcare ecosystem. We will do so by following the team and the...
