Book SynopsisIn an era of digital transformation within healthcare management, this important book outlines an ecosystem perspective to illustrate how a range of actors can use digital technologies to offer better value within the provision of healthcare services. From mobile applications to point-of-care diagnostic devices, from AI-enabled applications for data analysis to cloud models for service delivery and blockchain infrastructures, it provides a roadmap for how healthcare organizations can leverage these digital technologies. The book is also illustrated with case studies from different areas, including software for medical diagnostics, blockchain infrastructures for use in pharmaceutical supply chains and clinical trials, and federated learning platforms for genomics. Covering key issues such as patients' rights to data and written in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the book will be essential reading for researchers, postgraduate students, and professionals interested in Trade Review“This is a valuable book that comes at a critical time, when digital health has accelerated across the globe fanned by the fire of the pandemic. It provides an informed account of the factors to consider and practical steps to make the most of the opportunity.”Tara Donelly, Founder Digital Care, Ex-Chief Digital Officer, NHS Digital“Digital healthcare is not merely a subset of traditional healthcare; it represents a reconfiguration of the entire healthcare system. Therefore, any effort to digitally transform organisations and effectively prepare them for the future must adopt an ecosystem approach. This book offers a practical framework for implementing this approach, highlighting the necessity for collective action as no single organisation can undertake this transformation alone.”Jorge Armanet, Entrepeneur, Operator Investor, and Advisor. Founder and Former CEO of HealthUnlocked. Cambridge Digital Innovation Fellow.“This book gives excellent insight into the benefits, risks and their mitigation of the use of digital technologies in healthcare. It then covers proposals on how we should regulate and respond to these new technologies to avoid the risks this new paradigm brings. I would recommend this book to anyone working in digital healthcare.”Stephen Critchlow, Founder, CEO and Chair of Wellbeing Team at Evergreen Life, Chair of the NIHR AI in Healthcare Board.“This book illustrates the key changes in the industry when COVID-19 accelerated digital healthcare. When I first presented patient portals in the UK it was something the NHS could not see would be used or adopted. Data silos cause so much complexity and create gaps in patient records. As these challenges are addressed we start to see the value being created and this is a process explored in this book. The book offers a comprehensive understanding of the complexity of digital transformation in healthcare.”Chris Rushworth, Head of Product, Doctor Care Anywhere“This is an important book. We are facing a global health crisis and the current ‘egosystem’ approach is never going to scale and offer the right economics to address the global need. This book illustrates how digital technologies can create and transform health ecosystems in way that was never possible and how these digital arenas change the economics of the market allowing greater participation and delivering additional value to those participants. The framework it offers provides a pragmatic guide to the journey to this ecosystem model, allow the reader to embark on the journey without the associated risks such undertakings often attract. Highly recommended.”Marcus Robbins, Chief Digital Advisor - Head of Strategy and Growth - DX Services – Fujitsu UK“This rich and engaging book about contemporary challenges in healthcare offers a unique perspective. Targeting practitioners and managers, it operationalises key insights from otherwise hard-to-get academic discussions by carefully selecting, presenting and illustrating these in accessible form -- without trivialising them.”Eric Monteiro, Professor of information systems, Norwegian University of Science and Technology“Professor Constantinides brilliantly navigates healthcare's digital transformation using powerful concepts and vivid examples. His framework illuminates how ecosystem strategy, technology, and human resources empower diverse actors to co-innovate and co-create value. Thoughtfully balancing the possibilities and risks of disruptive technologies like Generative AI and blockchain, he provides an indispensable roadmap for this evolving landscape. A must-read for anyone vested in the future of healthcare!”Arun Rai, Regents’ Professor and Howard S. Starks Distinguished Chair, Georgia State University“’Digital Transformation in Healthcare: An Ecosystem Approach’ by Professor Constantinides expertly traverses the healthcare landscape. Highlighting the importance of partnerships, digital platforms, and an ecosystem perspective, it offers strategic co-innovation insights for value creation. The book incisively illuminates the potentials of Generative AI, learning infrastructures, and blockchain technologies. An indispensable guide, the book offers profound insights into digital transformation for anyone in healthcare.”Elena Karahanna, Distinguished Research Professor and C. Herman & Mary Virginia Terry Distinguished Chair in Business Administration, University of Georgia“In Digital Transformation in Healthcare: An Ecosystem Approach, Panos Constantinides provides much-needed guidance for healthcare managers, indeed all managers. They take a “show, don’t tell” approach by methodically showing the steps, with examples, that organizations must follow to digitally transform their operations and strategy. The ecosystem approach is necessary for the future success of healthcare organizations so that they can focus on their core competency of providing health services in an efficient and effective manner.”Rajiv Kohli, John N. Dalton Memorial Professor of Business, Raymond A. Mason School of Business, William & Mary University“Corporations tend to focus on the efficiency gains from digital transformation but, often, fail to see the real transformative power that digital technologies provide: the ability to re-imagine the new possible to achieve what most actors from the established value chain would consider impossible. This timely and comprehensive book is all about the “impossible-new possible” in healthcare through digital transformation, and the enabling role played by digital technologies and ecosystems. Panos Constantinides presents a compelling framework for healthcare organizations to navigate the complex landscape of digital transformation. From telemedicine and blockchain to federated learning and generative AI technologies, this book provides a rich journey into how ecosystem approaches can activate collaborative partnerships and collective action to unlock innovation and drive transformative change in healthcare solutions. It is a “must read” for healthcare organizations, policymakers, and empowered patients alike who want to shape the new possible.”Carmelo Cennamo, Professor Copenhagen Business School"Digital Transformation in Healthcare: An Ecosystem Approach" tackles some of the most complex challenges in a critical industry and carefully develops the what, why, and how. Using concrete examples, the book lays out the key value propositions and architecture, makes the case for the need to change, and develops actionable strategies to make it happen while managing the risks and governance challenges that are sure to arise. I highly recommend it as a key manual to create positive change in healthcare.”Geoffrey Parker, Co-author of Platform Revolution, Charles E.

Book SynopsisAn award-winning physician-writer exposes how pervasive cracks in the health care system cost us time, energy, and lives—and how we can fix them.Trade Review"Yurkiewicz is working against the grain of American health care, in which patients are assumed to be consumers, not managers of it. . . . [Her] book is a detailed, moving portrait of what medicine could look like." -- Leah Libresco Sargeant - National Review"Illuminating case studies drive home the dire consequences of fragmentation . . . Persuasive and damning, this scathing indictment unsettles." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Moving . . . Yurkiewicz’s poignant prose reads like a novel . . . An engaging read that paints an honest picture of how a broken system impacts patients and providers." -- Kirkus"Yurkiewicz makes a frightening and compelling case against a medical system that doesn’t promote—and often hinders—communication among medical caregivers, to the detriment of patients . . . An informative and sobering look at the state of patient care in the United States." -- Library Journal"Fragmented is a bravura feat of synthesis, showing how so many failings of America’s health care system are actually facets of the same horrible problem. It’s a call to arms, showing that said problem is intolerable and fixable. It’s an essential book, possessed of a ferocious urgency and anchored by Ilana Yurkiewicz’s stirring, compassionate writing." -- Ed Yong, New York Times best-selling author and winner of the Pulitzer Prize"A beautiful meditation on and exposé of the failures and opportunities in American health care. Ilana Yurkiewicz brings her singular voice—as a brilliant doctor scrabbling to provide top-notch care, a vulnerable daughter actively bridging gaps during her own father’s serious illness, and an expert observer of systems and policy—to this crucial book full of empathy, gripping stories, and hard-won wisdom about how to achieve better care for us all. I loved it." -- Lucy Kalanithi, MD, Stanford School of Medicine, and widow of Paul Kalanithi, author of When Breath Becomes Air"American health care is so technically advanced, the spawning ground for life-changing medical breakthroughs, yet it fails so many by being dysfunctional, absurdly costly, and uneven . . . Ilana Yurkiewicz combines lucid prose, astute observations as a frontline provider, and incredible empathy to dissect this paradox in an unforgettable way . . . An important book." -- Abraham Verghese, author of The Covenant of Water and Cutting for Stone"Urgent, timely, and eye-opening." -- Danielle Ofri, MD, PhD, author of When We Do Harm"A lucid diagnosis of the systemic problem that has resulted in our ‘broken’ health-care system. Yurkiewicz allows readers to see through a young doctor's eyes as the reality of fragmentation dawns during intensely emotional situations, infusing compelling narratives with humor and humanity, and making sense of inscrutable health policy issues that affect us all. Somehow, amid the chaos, Fragmented is able to find a glimmer of hope that is desperately needed." -- James Hamblin, MD, author of Clean"Fragmented is a riveting, impassioned narrative that details the Kafka-esque paradox of American medicine: Despite having access to more information than ever, our doctors seem to know less and less about us. What makes it so uplifting and inspiring is that Yurkiewicz, an oncologist who has witnessed this problem first-hand, is optimistic that these challenges can be overcome—and that a more compassionate, humane healthcare system is within reach." -- Seth Mnookin, New York Times best-selling author and professor of science writing, Massachusetts Institute of Technology"From the intimacy of the hospital wards and her relationships with her own patients, Yurkiewicz tells the compelling story of the razor-thin margins by which medical care is delivered successfully in the United States, and how easily people can slip through the cracks of our health system. A must-read." -- Mikkael A. Sekeres, MD, MS, author of Drugs and the FDA and When Blood Breaks Down
