"Digitalization of a university hospital (healthcare) - expectations vs. security"
The digitalization, or more precisely "Digital Transformation" of the University Hospital is a long process of highly expected and desired changes that should allow for more efficient work for healthcare professionals and greater availability of information for patients. However, all this requires the implementation of major renewal and acquisition projects in the field of applications and infrastructure and the associated demands on capacity and sufficient expertise of the IT staff. However, it is also essential to ensure cybersecurity both in downstream operations and especially during period of project implementation. The Ostrava University Hospital has already implemented several very significant changes and we can responsibly name the key disparities between expectations and reality and also list the most pressing moments of the entire process.
