Abstract
The population needing health care services grows faster than the management capabilities of our current health care delivery models. Patients journeying through our current health care systems receive a spectrum of services, often imperfectly matched to medical needs. We describe a framework of the Digital Care Horizon to accelerate digital transformation from the perspective of a health care delivery system. We describe service delivery models across the horizon, discuss potential challenges and partnerships to facilitate the digital extension of health care, and mention concepts beyond the current horizon.
