Barriers and Facilitators of Digital Transformation in Health Care: Mixed Methods Study.
Article in Journal of participatory medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDigital transformation is now a fundamental component of health care systems worldwide. To develop effective digital health strategies, it is essential to examine physicians' perspectives on the barriers and facilitators of implementation, with particular attention to regional and cultural factors influencing technology adoption.
objectiveThis study aims to identify and analyze key barriers and facilitators to the implementation of digital health technologies from physicians' perspectives in Russia.
methodsA 2-phase nationwide mixed methods study was conducted involving 460 physicians from various specialties. The first phase comprised in-depth interviews with 10 physicians to develop a specialized questionnaire. The second phase involved a nationwide cross-sectional survey with 450 physicians using the developed questionnaire. Inclusion criteria were working in a Russian city with a population of more than 100,000, age 22 years and older, at least 3 years of specialty experience, and employment in public or private health care institutions. The analysis focused on 4 categories of digital health technologies: remote consultations, remote monitoring, digital diagnostic solutions, and clinical decision support systems.
resultsThe main barriers identified were fear of making erroneous decisions (25% of physicians), technical difficulties (up to 25%), and legal insecurity (21% of physicians). Notably, the barrier profile varied depending on the type of technology. Key drivers for implementation included time saving (59% of physicians), practical benefits (55% of physicians), and legal security (54% of physicians). Additionally, a convenient training organization was a crucial motivator, with the availability of free training (53% of physicians) and provision of study leave (52% of physicians). These facilitators were consistent across all categories of digital solutions. Based on these findings, key recommendations for the implementation of digital transformation in medical organizations were formulated.
conclusionsThe findings highlight the need for comprehensive, technology-specific digital implementation strategies to improve health care digital transformation effectiveness, considering physician concerns about decision-making accuracy, technical challenges, and legal frameworks.
