Abstract
The benefits that digital health may offer include clinical, administrative, research, and educational. Research shows that if used in the right circumstances, digital health may increase access to healthcare services, improve clinical outcomes, safety, and quality of care. Digital health also has the potential to improve organisational efficiencies by reducing duplication and unnecessary diagnostic testing. From a healthcare consumer perspective, there is an expectation that healthcare services need to be provided in a more flexible and cost-effective way as in other spheres such as banking, commerce, and media. This is another important driver for consideration to integrate digital health in healthcare services. As digital health continues to be used in routine healthcare services, practitioners may require new knowledge, skills, and competencies to make the best use of this innovative method. Education and training relating to digital health have been recognised as a priority for developing the future healthcare workforce.
