The strategies of academic medical centers arise from core values and missions that aim to provide unmatched clinical care, patient experience, research, education, and training. These missions drive nearly all activities. They should also drive digital health activities - and particularly now given the rapid adoption of digital health, marking one of the great transformations of healthcare; increasing pressures on health systems to provide more cost-effective care; the pandemic-accelerated funding and rise of well-funded new entrants and technology giants that provide more convenient forms of care; and a more favorable regulatory and reimbursement landscape to incorporate digital health approaches. As academic medical centers emerge from a pandemic-related reactionary digital health posture, where pressures to adopt more digital health technologies mount, a broad digital health realignment that leverages the strengths of such centers is required to accomplish their missions.
学术医疗中心的战略源于核心价值观和使命，旨在提供无与伦比的临床护理、患者体验、研究、教育和培训。这些使命推动着几乎所有的活动。它们也应该推动数字健康活动——尤其是在当下，鉴于数字健康的迅速采用，这标志着医疗保健领域的重大变革之一；卫生系统面临着越来越大的压力，需要提供更具成本效益的护理；疫情加速了资金投入，资金雄厚的新进入者和科技巨头兴起，提供了更便捷的护理形式；以及更有利的监管和报销环境，以纳入数字健康方法。随着学术医疗中心从与疫情相关的被动数字健康态势中走出来，采用更多数字健康技术的压力不断增加，需要进行广泛的数字健康调整，以利用这些中心的优势来完成其使命。
