Am J Manag Care. 2023;29(1):17-18. https://doi.org/10.37765/ajmc.2023.89299 _____ Over the past 12 years that The American Journal of Managed Care ® has published the annual Health Information Technology special issue, the landscape of digital health has changed dramatically. Although the march of technological progress had come slowly to health care organizations, 2 events spurred seismic changes. First, the rapid adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) in response to federal policy has digitized care delivery, bringing with it a host of intended and unintended consequences for patients, clinicians, and health care organizations. Second, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic forced an immediate and sudden shift to the organization and delivery of health care—a shift that was only possible because of the digital infrastructure built by broad EHR adoption. In this special issue, 11 papers advance our understanding of health information technology across 3 domains, each of which reflects those 2 events: telemedicine, EHR work and clinician burden, and the building of a better digital health system. Evaluating the Telemedicine Revolution The popularity of telemedicine exploded at the onset of the pandemic, and virtual care is likely here to stay in some form. Johnson et al use qualitative data from expert panels […]

Written by Lisa Wallace and Enrique Esclusa, Cofounders & Co-CEOs, Assemble Compensation is experiencing its digital transformation moment. What is the full value of my compensation? How was it determined, and by whom? Am I paid competitively in the market? With the 2022 merit and bonus season behind many of us, and a year of looming economic uncertainty ahead, more employees and companies across America are asking hard questions about compensation than ever before. iStock Attention to what employees are paid for their contributions has skyrocketed in the past several years, as the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically disrupted the manner and method with which employees, particularly white collar knowledge workers, show up to and perform their jobs. This shift demands new tools and methods for managing compensation in order for businesses to succeed. We are experiencing compensation’s “Digital Transformation” moment, and it’s long overdue.

Traditionally called Compensation & Benefits, it has more recently been rebranded to “Total Rewards” to more fully capture non-cash components of employee compensation like […]

The pandemic-era push to quickly boost digital touchpoints and services proved that transformation can happen fast. That has left a lasting legacy: Even as the pandemic recedes, enterprise executives continue to expect CIOs and their IT departments to deliver transformative capabilities at a rapid-fire pace. If you think you’re keeping up, think again: One recent study from research firm Gartner found that the majority of CEOs (59%) say digital initiatives take too long and 52% take too long to realize value. The pressure is on to accelerate digital transformation, according to CIOs, researchers, and analysts. They say growing concerns about economic slowdowns and a possible recession only ratchet up the need for speed.

As digital transformation has become ever more critical to business survival, understanding which tools create a great toolkit is also key. Digital transformation has become a top business trend for good reason. Organizations that use digital technologies — from cloud computing to AI — to optimal advantage may be more likely to ride the waves of constant disruption, and even use it to their advantage. What is digital transformation? Digital transformation — or DX — is the creation of fundamental business changes through digital technologies. Using computer-based technologies, organizations create new products, services, processes or operations. They may even create a new core mission and strategies to execute it. Digital transformation is not only about using IT to support key functions and the delivery of products and services, but also about using technology to work and perform in new ways, enhancing existing deliverables. The concept of digital transformation has been evolving since the late 20th century and requires organizations to keep pace with technology advancements and continuously innovate on their use of them. In other words, digital transformation is not a final state, a destination to reach or a project to complete; it is a constant state of using […]

In today’s tech-driven economy, Black small business owners have new digital tools that can help their businesses survive, thrive and stand out among corporate competitors. Here are three reasons Black small business leaders should meet this moment and embrace digital transformation. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Small businesses are the backbone of our communities. They supply and care for our families, support economic growth and stability, and foster meaningful relationships with the people they serve. Nobody understands the value of small businesses more than those who live in communities that are most likely to experience disinvestment and neglect from corporate investors — which are disproportionately communities of color. These small businesses are also most often owned and operated by Black entrepreneurs and other entrepreneurs of color.

Luckily, in today’s tech-driven economy, Black small business owners have new digital tools to help their businesses survive, thrive and stand out among corporate competitors.
