In the contemporary landscape characterized by digital transformation and sustainable economic development, understanding the dynamics of health status is critically significant. This study investigates the complex relationship among healthcare expenditure, digital transformation, health status, and well-being within the European Union (EU) framework.
Through structural equation modeling, the research examines the multidimensional interplay among these variables, while cluster analysis supports identifying distinct patterns within the data. The paper aims to provide a broad understanding of the impact of digital transformation and healthcare expenditure on health status and well-being at the EU level.
The findings unveil nuanced linkages among healthcare expenditure, digital transformation, health status, and well-being across distinct clusters of EU countries. While certain countries exhibit synergistic advancements resulting in enhanced healthcare outcomes, others confront challenges stemming from disparities in digital infrastructure, healthcare expenditure allocation, and health status.
This study underscores the imperative of fostering synergies between digital transformation and healthcare expenditure to enhance health status within the EU. Identifying pivotal determinants and barriers enables policymakers to formulate targeted strategies to mitigate disparities and foster inclusive growth to promote equitable healthcare access and advance overall societal well-being.
在以数字转型和可持续经济发展为特征的当代格局中，了解健康状况的动态变化至关重要。本研究在欧盟框架内调查医疗保健支出、数字转型、健康状况和福祉之间的复杂关系。
通过结构方程模型，该研究考察了这些变量之间的多维相互作用，同时聚类分析有助于识别数据中的不同模式。本文旨在全面了解数字转型和医疗保健支出对欧盟层面健康状况和福祉的影响。
研究结果揭示了欧盟不同国家集群中医疗保健支出、数字转型、健康状况和福祉之间的细微联系。虽然某些国家呈现出协同进步，带来了更好的医疗保健成果，但其他国家则面临着数字基础设施、医疗保健支出分配和健康状况差异带来的挑战。
本研究强调了在欧盟内部促进数字转型与医疗保健支出之间协同作用以改善健康状况的必要性。确定关键决定因素和障碍使政策制定者能够制定有针对性的战略，以减少差距并促进包容性增长，从而促进公平的医疗保健获取并提升整体社会福祉。
