Digital Disruption

The current and future of the healthcare system will face various problems, ranging from digitizing the health system, digital transformation and disruption of the health world or the problem of digital application during the Covid-19 pandemic in Health 4.0 and Community 5.0 and its leadership. The objective of the study is to explore digital information and the role of leadership in healthcare services in the future. This research is a narrative literature review and searched relevant articles from ProQuest and PubMed. Digital health is transforming healthcare delivery around the world to meet the evolving challenges of an aging population with a variety of chronic conditions. Digital transformation and disruptive innovation illustrate a comprehensive reorientation of the industry, including its business model due to the advent of digital technology in the form of digitizing products, services, and processes. Digital health products can be in the form of electronic health (eHealth), cellular health (mHealth), health information technology, teleconsultation (telehealth/telemedicine). All these digital products, if they cannot be applied now and in the future, will cause digital disruption in traditional healthcare services in hospitals. The current world of health also has an impact because of the COVID-19 pandemic, where this situation is a race for Health 4.0 and Society 5.0 (super smart people). Where Health 4.0 will relax and reflect digital health and implement it in Society 5.0. The leadership strategies that can be selected are systems thinking, contextual intelligence, and metacognitive strategies.

Balance Problems

This article illustrates the potential of placing audiology services in a family physician’s practice setting to increase referrals of geriatric and pediatric patients to audiologists. The primary focus of family practice physicians is the diagnosis/intervention of critical systemic disorders (e.g., cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer). Hence concurrent hearing/balance disorders are likely to be overshadowed in such patients. If audiologists get referrals from these physicians and have direct access to diagnose and manage concurrent hearing/balance problems in these patients, successful audiology practice patterns will emerge, and there will be increased visibility and profitability of audiological services. As a direct consequence, audiological services will move into the mainstream of healthcare delivery, and the profession of audiology will move further towards its goals of early detection and intervention for hearing and balance problems in geriatric and pediatric populations.

And Child Health

Quality healthcare delivery is the bedrock to exponentially accelerate the development of a country. Unfortunately, in Pakistan healthcare has been neglected since a long time, with the common man bearing the brunt of this acute situation. There are critical challenges in health care, with paucity of trained human resource and deficit of regulated infrastructure and service delivery being the predominant dilemmas. Primary and secondary healthcare are in an unseemly state, to say the least. Maternal and child health care, accident, and emergency departments and mental health are among the most undermined and forsaken areas of healthcare, primarily in the far flung Gilgit Baltistan region of Pakistan. The only way forward is if the political regime, administration and the medical personnel work in concurrence to revise the health infrastructure of the country.

Type Ii Errors

Digital transformation has led to changes in business models of traditional players in the existing markets. What is more, new entrants and new markets appeared, in particular platforms and multisided markets. The emergence and rapid development of platforms are caused primarily by the existence of so called indirect network externalities. Regarding to this, a question arises of whether the existing instruments of competition law enforcement and market analysis are still relevant when analyzing markets with digital platforms? This paper aims at discussing advantages and disadvantages of using various tools to define markets with platforms. In particular, we define the features of the SSNIP test when being applyed to markets with platforms. Furthermore, we analyze adjustment in tests for platform market definition in terms of possible type I and type II errors. All in all, it turns out that to reduce the likelihood of type I and type II errors while applying market definition technique to markets with platforms one should consider the type of platform analyzed: transaction platforms without pass-through and non-transaction matching platforms should be tackled as players in a multisided market, whereas non-transaction platforms should be analyzed as players in several interrelated markets. However, if the platform is allowed to adjust prices, there emerges additional challenge that the regulator and companies may manipulate the results of SSNIP test by applying different models of competition.
