Synopsis
Technological transformation is changing all life processes and habits day by day, and the health sector is also involved in this transformation. Especially in recent years, epidemics and disasters have necessitated easy access to the health system and easy use of the service. Accurate and fast access to health services has become increasingly important in this direction. The quality of health care in our country is improving day by day and digital transformation contributes to this improvement process. Among the goals of the health sector is the easy access of everyone in need to the health services they need, or the improvement of the health status of citizens by ensuring that health services are delivered quickly. In this respect, the importance of digital transformation for academics and practitioners is increasing. General rules such as information flow, networks, communication, connectivity, authenticity, transparency and participation guide both the production and use of health-related information and information. In line with this information, the aim of this study is to explain some digital health applications used in health services in Turkey by examining the digital transformation in health services on the basis of literature.
