Digital Health Transformation and Management on Sustainable Development for Post-Pandemic Recovery: A Literature Review
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the digital health transformation, emphasizing the importance of digital technology in addressing global health crises and recovery, with significant implications for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This literature review examines the impact of digital health on sustainable development in the post-pandemic era, identifying trends, best practices, and providing policy recommendations. It explores the integration of technologies like telemedicine, AI, and IoT in healthcare, which enhance access, quality, and efficiency. However, challenges such as interoperability, data security, and the digital divide remain. Effective management, cross-sector collaboration, and continuous evaluation are essential for successful implementation, offering opportunities for improved healthcare quality and innovation.
This research is a descriptive and analytical literature review that utilizes data from scientific journals, research reports, news articles, government policies, and relevant organizational documents. Data were collected through literature searches in databases and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify main themes and subthemes, ultimately synthesizing the findings to create a conceptual framework.
The literature review finds that while digital health transformation, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has significantly improved healthcare access, quality, and system efficiency, achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) faces challenges related to interoperability, data security, the digital divide, and regulatory frameworks, which require strategic leadership, cross-sector collaboration, and continuous evaluation to overcome.
