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.

Our career in transforming healthcare is really taking shape. It’s time to tell MoM TiSH how it is going.

We will explore the elements that we need to assess and how to perform assessments, all in good preparation for the transformation. For this, maturity models are introduced with emphasis on the approach of the Industry 4.0 Maturity Index. This combines multiple maturities on different themes such as technology, culture, organization, and collaboration to devise a program of activities to allow networked care to grow toward maturity in a balanced way.

We will learn what maturity is, how to get a joint picture of the current maturity, and how to translate that to the next coordinated steps. With this, we can make the transformation into an actionable program of projects and apply it in our daily practice.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:

  • Understanding and defining maturity assessments with TiSH
