Abstract：Objective To investigate the drivers,stakeholders,core tasks,and differentiated development models of digital transformation in Chinese hospitals,develop a hospital digital transformation model,and propose advancement pathways.Methods Leveraging ROCCIPI theory,socio-technical systems theory,and social network theory,a multiple case study approach was employed to analyze four representative Chinese hospitals,examining the driving factors,social network relationship,and core tasks of digital transformation.Results Hospital digital transformation is a complex process driven by regulations,opportunities,and capabilities,requiring efficient collaboration among stakeholders focused on patient services,clinical operations,hospital management,and security.It identified three development models-ecology-oriented,regional integration,and grassroots enhancement—based on the distinct characteristics of the hospitals.A theoretical model for digital transformation in four Chinese hospitals was developed,along with proposed pathways and strategies.Conclusion It presents a digital transformation model and advancement pathways for hospitals through multiple case analyses,addressing the limited perspectives of existing research and providing a reference for practice.
