While other industries, such as banking, have learned to use advanced IT to aggregate, integrate, and apply large amounts of digitized data, healthcare is mainly still working to achieve digitization and connectivity.
First, digitization and connectivity will beget personalization.
Costs are one of the major obstacles to building and maintaining the infrastructure for advanced IT. Achieving digitization and connectivity is expensive, though providers, payers, and patients benefit from the resulting increases in efficiency [ 48].
Libraries are now focussed less on books than on "people who want to get knowledge," and the getting, as becomes clear in repeated meetings of senior library figures, is a matter of connectivity, digitization, broadband rollout, and, my favorite, "e-content licensing purchase strategy".
As Goodman explains, digitization and massive connectivity have opened the door to all sorts of new models of collaboration, reshaping industries as historical boundaries dissolve.
It will be a time where ubiquitous connectivity, and universal digitization, presentation, and aggregation take place in parallel and cross-pollinate to produce an entirely new web experience.
Make it "digitization," formed from the verb "digitize".
Digitization is optional.
"Digitization of security does that".
