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.

Leveraging TiSH as Toolkit for Common Understanding

We experienced that MoM TiSH was very helpful. What more has she got in store for us?

The theme for this chapter is how to apply Transformation in Sustainable Healthcare (TiSH) itself. It’s the core toolkit for our transformation task force to embrace complexity tread by tread. In this chapter, we will start building the TiSH toolkit for common understanding, bringing people, technology, and organizations together in a framework of comprehensible models. Eventually, this body of knowledge on models will evolve into the use of DevOps4Care, which is a specific implementation of DevOps for healthcare.

In the previous chapters, we learned that we can describe the complexity of transforming the first treads on the TiSH staircase. However, we not only want to be able to describe the complexity, but we also want to embrace it and guide the transformation itself. That is what the remaining steps on the staircase are about.
