The future of quality and accreditation surveys: Digital transformation and artificial intelligence

Abstract

Accreditation is documented and reported by the external evaluation organization that the health facility provides services at certain standards. While on-site survey practices are being carried out by external evaluation organizations, there has been a trend toward new survey approaches using digital technologies as a result of the research carried out to ensure efficiency in surveys as well as improved effectiveness. With the emergence of the Covid-19 epidemic, external evaluation organization in all sectors has been forced to work remotely and adopt digital technology. Shared remote survey experience results reported its benefits as also some problems. The increase in the adaptation of digital technologies in quality and accreditation surveys showed that the use of technology in the survey structure will develop further in the future. Can artificial intelligence technologies be the next digital technology that will be adapted to surveys? In addition to the benefits of using artificial intelligence technologies, there are potential problems to consider and some requirements for using them. external evaluation organizations must be prepared to develop their organizational capacity to ensure that quality and accreditation surveys are responsive to changing industry needs and must make the necessary investments to make the data, which is the most important source of digital technologies, accessible and usable.

“…Around this goal, the field of AI has gradually developed and given birth to numerous sub technologies to enable human-machine "communication" and machine "understanding and response" to humans, which are functions that coincide with the task of the discipline of "emotional interaction. These functions coincide with the task of the discipline of "emotional interaction" [2][3][4][5]. In fact, AIrelated technologies will support the main trends of future human-machine "multimodal interaction, natural interaction, physical interaction, and emotional interaction" and reshape the disciplinary paradigm of interaction design [6][7].…”

Digital transformation, industrial structure change, and economic growth motivation: An empirical analysis based on manufacturing industry in Yangtze River Delta

“…Tong et al analyzed the impact of digital economy development on industrial structure based on panel data of 30 provinces in China and found that digital economy can drive industrial structure to rationalize development [ 33 ]. From the perspective of the labor force, the improvement of digital technology and the construction of digital platforms will greatly increase the production cost of enterprises, but it would promote the improvement of staff quality and make the industrial structure tend to be rationalized [ 34 , 35 ]. Fossen and Sorgner conducted an in-depth study on the impact of digital transformation on production methods.…”

Digital Transformation Strategy for Financial Management of Entity Enterprises in the Information Age

“…In the process of digital transformation, enterprises must strengthen the network security and privacy protection of financial data [9]. In addition, effective data encryption, access control, and network security strategies need to be adopted to prevent data leakage and cyberattacks [10]. Digital transformation is not only a technological change but also involves the transformation of the organizational culture and the ability of the staff [11].…”
