The Digital Reconstruction of Healthcare: Transitioning from Brick and Mortar to Virtual Care
暫譯: 醫療的數位重建：從實體醫療轉型為虛擬照護

醫療保健面臨的複雜挑戰需要創新的解決方案，以使病人護理更有效、易於獲得且負擔得起。其中一種解決方案是醫療的數位重建，將大部分病人護理從醫院、診所和辦公室轉移到各種虛擬環境中。這種重建涉及遠程醫療、居家醫療服務、行動應用程式、遠端感測裝置、臨床數據分析及其他尖端技術。《醫療的數位重建：從實體到虛擬護理的轉型》深入探討這些工具及其如何改變醫療，以滿足全球病人的獨特需求。

本書使讀者能夠窺探不久的未來，並為數位轉型在醫療保健中所帶來的機會做好準備。對於對這些數位工具不太熱衷的讀者來說，這也是一個警醒，幫助他們意識到忽視這些工具的代價。本書是為各類醫療專業人員撰寫的，包括：

- 想了解如何使用或開發數位產品和服務的醫生、護士和企業家
- 需要將這些工具整合到醫院、診所和醫療辦公室現有電腦網絡中的IT經理
- 決定如何投資這些平台和產品的醫療高管
- 需要跟上最新趨勢及支持其成本效益的證據的保險公司

本書充滿了國際專家的見解，還包括約翰·哈拉姆卡博士多年來與政府官員在數位健康方面的國際諮詢中所學到的經驗教訓。它還利用了資深研究分析師保羅·塞拉托在人工智慧、數據分析和機器學習方面的專業知識。結合這些經驗教訓與對臨床資訊學研究的深入分析，本書旨在區分被過度宣傳的人工智慧「解決方案」與基於證據的數位工具。這兩個支柱共同支持這一主張，即這些技術確實可以幫助解決醫療提供者和病人面臨的許多看似無法解決的問題。
