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.

Planning, Designing, and Architecting the Transformation

Achievements are building. Results are beyond what MoM TiSH has taught us. Time to start your independent path.

We know where we’re coming from, and we know where we’re going. But how do we get there? We have learned how to do assessments, and we have defined our goal: sustainable healthcare. Based on these assessments, we have learned how to set up a balanced program with projects on ideation, prototypes, pilots, and deployment with different teams. Now, it’s time to start planning the transformation itself.

We will learn how to conceptualize the plans, how to form the teams to execute these plans, and what actions are part of it. Now, how do we empower these teams to execute the transformation?

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

  • Defining the transformation plan
  • Designing with Technology Enabled Care (TEC) teams
  • Empowering transformation teams...
