This is the timeliest book that not only provides the guidance to alter the slow spiral diminish of our industry, but rather prepares us with a roadmap and applies the intellectual capital to accelerate our transformation and embraces the digital world to exceed any other industry from the past.

Craig D Richardville

Once again, Ed paints a vision of what's possible coupled with a roadmap to guide the journey into the unknown and shifting sands of 'digital transformation' in healthcare. When we worked together in an evolving health care system, I found his ability to see into the future, and nudge those around him to step into his vision to be just what was needed to help us make tracks quickly. If you can't work directly with Ed, this is a close second best! Enjoy, Learn & Apply...and watch what happens...

"Healthcare Digital Transformation" is a breath of fresh air for an industry that often keeps the windows closed. In their excellent book, Ed Marx and Paddy Padmanabhan make the case that for healthcare executives to grow, they must seek both knowledge and talent from outside the domain, looking to other industries for novel ways forward.

Anthony Guerra

Editor-in-Chief, HealthsystemCIO Media

Transformations are never easy, digital or physical. Everyone knows that the Healthcare industry needs a massive revamp. Ed Marx and Paddy Padmanabhan's book is a refreshing look at how one engages in an enterprise transformation that is based on a three-legged framework that sits on vast domain experience, process/method rigor and new age digital technology.

"The name Ed Marx is synonymous with healthcare information technology.

An essential handbook for those seeking a primer in digital health."

Gene Mannheimer, Senior Research Analyst, Digital Health, Healthcare IT & Services at Colliers International

"Moving beyond having a deployed EHR to extending it, along with related technologies, to communicate and interoperate with all extended care givers, to enable analytics and predictive medicine and to truly Transform both your practice and your patient's lives is like moving from Ford's Model A, and rutted dirt roads to modern integrated, reliable transportation. Use this book as your roadmap!"

Peter S. Tippett, MD PhD, CEO careMESH

"Never has a focus on innovation, transformation, and disruption been more relevant for healthcare than today. In the Keanu Reeves sci-fi "The Day The Earth Stood Still", his alien character postulates that "humans don't change until they are standing at the precipice". Right or wrong, Covid has brought us to that place, and has forced us to alter our course overnight, more than any pilot, experiment, or regulatory change has done in a decade or more. Leaders at CMS and insurance companies have rolled back archaic policies and rules that have stood in the way almost overnight, and I've heard from many physicians across the country that are realizing for the first time that quality care can be delivered digitally - in its variety of forms.

This book is a wonderful resource. Ed and Paddy have created an excellent construct for organizing and prioritizing, organizational planning, and moving forward. Based on their own experiences, the viewpoints of highly respected peers, and additional research and observation, it covers everything from basic blocking and tackling to implementing for the new normal. You are sure to derive some new thinking as well as validate and benchmark your goals and progress as a result of it!"
