Digital hospital is what we all should expect in the nearest future.     

Digital hospital: Benefits and challenges

Early detection and intervention, reducing risk for more acute complications
Accelerated return to previous health levels with recovery occurring in the home
Reduced hospital-acquired infections due to a shorter stay
Potentially reduced treatment costs
Ability for patients to engage with care providers quickly and effectively, thus improving the patient experience
Ability for hospitals to leverage technology to maximize resource use

Maintaining human interaction, as increasing digitalization could negatively impact the patient-provider relationship
Automation bias, which occurs when people strongly trust the  accuracy of computer-generated information over other sources, including  their own senses
Ensuring data security and privacy to avoid “Big Brother” scenarios  will be paramount to build patient trust for hospital systems and  processes
