Health Professional Digital Capabilities Frameworks: A Scoping Review.
1Department of Nursing and Allied Health, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
The assumption that digital skills alone empower healthcare users is flawed. Refocusing professional capabilities on individual outcomes is key to achieving person-centered digital healthcare (PCDHc).
Area of Science:
- Digital Health
- Health Informatics
- Healthcare Professional Development
Background:
- The prevailing assumption that digital skills empower healthcare users and deliver person-centered digital healthcare (PCDHc) is being challenged.
- Current digital health and informatics capability frameworks may not fully support genuine PCDHc.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine existing digital health and informatics capability frameworks.
- To identify opportunities for enhancing these frameworks to better support PCDHc.
- To propose principles for building integrated digital healthcare environments.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review of literature from 2000-2019 was conducted.
- Eligibility screening followed PRISMA guidelines, identifying 13 relevant articles.
- Thematic framework analysis was employed for data management and interpretation.
Main Results:
- Analysis identified 59 capabilities, categorized into 13 groups and 4 overarching themes: Change Management, User Application, Data/Information/Knowledge, and Innovation.
- These themes highlight the potential to align technical skills with capabilities for authentic PCDHc.
- The review confirmed that digital skills alone do not guarantee empowerment for all healthcare stakeholders.
Conclusions:
- Holistic mindsets are crucial for achieving PCDHc.
- Professional digital capability debates are often siloed and paternalistic.
- Transitioning to authentic PCDHc requires refocusing, not rewriting, current capabilities towards individual healthcare outcomes.
