The spatial spillover effects of digital transformation on healthcare services quality

Situated within a digital framework, this research examines how digital transformation might improve the quality of healthcare services and the spatial spillover effects. The results indicate that digital transformation may markedly improve the quality of medical services and have spatial spillover effects. Limitations identified in this study include constraints in research methodologies and modest sample size. Consequently, future studies may refine the provincial sample to the level of prefecture-level cities, employing moderation and mediation effect models to more precisely evaluate the impact mechanism of digital transformation on the quality of medical services.
