- Organizations are in the midst of health IT infrastructure digital transformation. Advanced technologies have a large role to play in the future of healthcare, but organizations must evaluate how risky emerging technology is against what their legacy infrastructure can still provide.

Digital transformation is necessary but not every healthcare organization is prepared or “digitally literate” enough to make evaluate and adopt the correct technology, according to a recent report by ISACA

“Not every organization is prepared to undertake this challenging journey,” report authors explained. “Companies that perceive their leadership to be digitally literate generally are far more aggressive and receptive to evaluating and adopting new and emerging technologies in their quests to achieve digital transformation than those with leaders not considered to be digitally literate.”
