Organizational Leaders’ Views on Digital Health Competencies in Medical Education: Qualitative Semistructured Interview Study
These barriers are also present in other high-income countries experiencing health care digitalization, highlighting the need for a theoretical framework that broadens the generalizability of existing recommendations. Applying the NPT underscores the importance of addressing these barriers to effectively integrate DHC into the curriculum. The active involvement of multiple stakeholders and the incorporation of continuous feedback mechanisms are essential. Our proposed framework provides concrete, evidence-based, and step-by-step recommendations for implementation practice, supporting the introduction of DHC in undergraduate medical education.
