Digital Transformation Roadmap for Healthcare

Identify Business Challenges

When incorporating new technology into your business, it’s not just about finding the tech that excels at a particular task but also about devising a lasting, scalable solution that aligns with your business requirements and supports your workforce.

Identify Staff's Pain Points

Hands-on teams will be more aware of day-to-day challenges and may have already implemented workarounds. Over time, this can lead to confusion and disconnection between teams. Technology can offer a flexible solution to address these issues.

Seek External Consultancy

Identifying areas for business growth can be challenging, especially if you don’t have the tools to gain practical insight into your competitors. Working with an agency like Zudu can present new ideas for tackling your business challenges effectively.

Determine KPIs

Success carries diverse meanings for different companies including optimising operational efficiency, minimising staff turnover, enhancing the client onboarding process, and improving staff training: all of which can result in significant revenue growth.

Deliver Staff Training

Before incorporating any new processes, it’s important to ensure that your staff has undergone proper onboarding and been provided with plenty of time to give the software a test run, ask questions, or provide suggestions for improvement.

Launch New Processes

In agile development, launch signifies the completion of one development stage, as well as marking the beginning of a new one! While these stages can be spaced far apart, maintaining your new software solution and gathering feedback is crucial.
