Comparison between smart, digital, and analog hospitals 2020

According to a survey carried out in January 2020, young healthcare professionals working in facilities where most patient data was still handled in paper format and through traditional communications were less likely to be satisfied with their work and more likely to regularly experience work-related stress. On the other hand, 85 of respondents who were working in 'smart' facilities reported to be satisfied with their work, and 74 percent would recommend a profession in medicine to others.
