Abstract
The key performance indicators in healthcare illustrate that the system we run nowadays is no longer sustainable. There is an urgent need for fundamental changes within the current ecosystem, if we want to maintain or improve the levels of quality, security and equity in healthcare. Disruptive technologies profoundly modify all domains of our society. Those changes, driven by technical convergence, are particularly rapid and extensive in the fields such as big data and analysis, artificial intelligence, cloud and blockchain. These continuously evolving technologies could potentially offer opportunities to efficient problem solving in the health care sector. The culture of our organizations needs major changes and especially adaptability and fast speed integration to a process which is inevitable.
