The Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) https://www.dimesociety.org has partnered with the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) https://www.va.gov/health to compile a free, essential industry guide to jumpstart industry alignment around best practices for evaluating and implementing digital health solutions.
To meet the needs of healthcare leaders, decision makers, and innovators as they are preparing to compete with tech companies without having access to industry’s best practices or guidance on what works and the potential pitfalls, DiME and VHA have launched “The Playbook: Digital Healthcare Edition.”
This industry guide outlines best practices for successfully implementing digital health solutions to solve healthcare’s challenges. Leveraging lessons learned from innovation success at VHA, the Playbook provides practical information, concrete case studies, and key digital health tools that healthcare leaders, decision makers, and innovators can use to address the pressing and persistent challenges in care delivery facing health systems today.
Simultaneously, prolific investment into digital health solutions has created a crowded marketplace of digital solutions. The Playbook: Digital Healthcare Edition offers a plan for how health systems can navigate the challenges, choose the right digital health solutions, and implement them to improve access, add efficiencies, boost effectiveness, and achieve equity in care.
“The Playbill: Digital Healthcare Edition showcases the best of digital innovation combining the expertise of the DiMe community with lessons learned from success in practice at the largest integrated healthcare system”, said Jennifer Goldsack, CEO, DiMe.
According to Michael Borges, Veteran Patient, Retired U.S. Airforce, “I’m proud to see the VHA push the boundaries of innovation and lead the development of digital health solutions. This will not only serve me and the 9 million Veterans that receive care from VHA, but also set an example for hospitals and health systems across the country”.
