Digital Transformation in Community Health Nursing: Innovations, Challenges, and Future Directions

Abstract

Over the past few years, organizations in the healthcare industry and beyond have been affected by digital transformation, and this trend shows no indications of abating. Up until recently, the NHS placed a lot of emphasis on acute services; however, this emphasis is gradually changing to community services, with NHSx designating Sussex Community Foundation Trust (SCFT) as the first community Digital Aspirant Trust. This article defines digital transformation and uses SCFT’s experiences to show how community nurses might benefit from it. It takes into account what the future of digital transformation might entail and how medical professionals can contribute to keeping patients at the center of any change.
