Healthcare Digital Transformation Roadmap Based on Portuguese Hospital Manager Interviews

A 17.5 KB Excel file authored by Juliana Basulo-Ribeiro and last updated on 2026-04-09. The dataset contains a theoretically informed and empirically refined roadmap for balancing digital and human components in healthcare digital transformation. The roadmap was developed through literature review and interviews with Portuguese hospital managers.

Use Cases

• Planning digital transformation initiatives based on the integrated roadmap considering technology, processes, and people.
• Monitoring humanisation targets based on patient-experience and staff-experience indicators mentioned in the description.
• Structuring and sequencing digital projects based on the exploratory roadmap for healthcare organizations.
• Analyzing manager perspectives on digitalisation barriers and solutions based on the interview findings.

Strengths

• Dataset is small (17.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.
• Openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for broad reuse and adaptation.
• Roadmap is both theoretically informed by literature and empirically refined via interviews with hospital managers.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The roadmap has not been piloted in real-world settings or compared with existing implementation frameworks.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the Portuguese hospital context.
