Abstract

The demand for more healthcare services is increasing due to various challenges faced by healthcare systems, including demographics and multi-morbidities. The current solutions to these problems involve leveraging technologies resourcefully, aligning them with integrated work processes, and employing skilled professionals towards digitalisation of healthcare. An extensive review of literature was undertaken to gain a thorough understanding of the present status of digital transformation in Malaysia’s healthcare industry, with an emphasis on the potential future advancements in this area. The paper begins by defining digitalisation in healthcare and discussing its significance. It then explores into key concepts such as Electronic Health Records (EHRs), telemedicine, healthcare analytics, and patient engagement through health apps, with a specific focus on their application and challenges in the Malaysian context. The paper identifies several digitalisation gaps in Malaysia, including issues related to infrastructure and connectivity, data security and privacy, digital literacy, and interoperability. It also evaluates government initiatives and policies aimed at promoting healthcare digitalisation in Malaysia.
