Technology impact on healthcare quality of the hospital: A literature review

How to Reach the Goal of Quadruple Aim Today in Healthcare Service Ecosystem: Nudges from the A4A Approach

“…Hospitals have adapted technology systems and operational processes to improve efficiencies and provide timelier access to specialty care [49] and decreased emergency department utilization [62], reflecting on lesser workload on the staff. The quality of the nursing practice has improved by adapting resources and relationships to different modalities of care [63], improving the morale affecting workforce engagement and safety such as workforce burn-out [64] as structural, technological and systemic adaptations are formalized [65]. This leads to a spirit of constant adaptation (structural and systemic) and therefore is the result of a continuous and continuously stimulated reasoning, encouraging more interaction, co-creation, eternalizing the A4A cycle.…”

“…The practice of telemedicine has improved patient experience through ensuring timeliness of care [62,63,49] and better access [68,69,50], while leading to an improved quality of life for care seekers [70] and care givers [53]. Telehealth use has been connected to decreased hospitalization and resource utilization [62], lessening the workload on the care staff [71], thus improving the work life of health care providers [65] and reducing cost of care [72,73] while improving the outcome of care [54]. -Actors prioritize resource integration and democratization: Hospitals adopting telehealth have seen improvement in operational efficiencies and timelier access to specialty care [49].…”

“…-Actors learn to adapt and reconfigure -dynamics of Continuity: With the implementation of telehealth in the model of care, satisfaction levels at the provider experience have improved [71]. Provider satisfaction have improved in 94% of cases of telehealth implementations [65], an indication that actors were able to adapt and reconfigure. Telehealth consultations contribute to the adherence to clinical management guideline [52] and the satisfaction of both patients and providers [53] and showed no significant difference in adherence to treatment guidelines across the multiple care modalities (primary care, urgent care, etc.)…”

Impact of ICT Strategy on Intellectual Capital, Quality of Service, and Financial Autonomy in Polish Hospitals

“…This not only applies to computed tomography and magnetic resonance techniques, but also X-rays, endoscopic examinations, ultrasound examinations, various types of apparatus measuring health parameters of patients, apparatus supporting body functions, specialized life support apparatus, and surgical equipment such as surgical robots, etc. Studies conducted by Lopo (2020) and his colleagues have shown the significant effect of ICT on the effectiveness and efficiency of medical entities and on improving the quality and accessibility of the medical services provided. ICT facilitates the acquisition of knowledge by medical staff and enhances the image of individual physicians and the hospital as an organization.…”
