Abstract
Digital healthcare promises to achieve cost-efficiency gains, improve clinical effectiveness, support better public sector governance by enhancing transparency and accountability, and increase confidence in medical diagnoses, especially in the field of oncology. This article aims to discuss the benefits offered by digital technologies in tax-based European healthcare systems against the backdrop of structural bureaucratic rigidities and a slow pace of implementation.Artificial intelligence (AI) will transform the existing delivery of healthcare services, inducing a redesign of public accountability systems and the traditional relationships between professionals and patients. Despite legitimate ethical and accountability concerns, which call for clearer guidance and regulation, digital governance of healthcare is a powerful means of empowering patients and improving their medical treatment in terms of quality and effectiveness. On the path to better health, the use of digital technologies has moved beyond the back office of administrative processes and procedures, and is now being applied to clinical activities and direct patient engagement.

It is widely accepted that digital healthcare and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will forever change the ways in which healthcare is delivered to patients, as well as the relationship between doctors and patients
(2020) 9:3 organizational constraints that will create obstacles to the successful implementation of digital health governance [6]. He emphasized the factors that determine the slow progress of organizational innovation when implementing digital technologies and new integrated delivery arrangements within European taxfunded healthcare systems. He criticized the organizational stasis of public sector organizations, which he labelled as a structural blockage, citing resistance from public hospitals to organizational changes, internal reforms, and innovation
Summary
Digital healthcare promises to achieve cost-efficiency gains, improve clinical effectiveness, support better public sector governance by enhancing transparency and accountability, and increase confidence in medical diagnoses, especially in the field of oncology. Multiple objectives of digital health services: achieve cost efficiency gains, improve the effectiveness of medical treatments, boost the early diagnosis of illnesses, enhance surgeries with robotic systems, increase positive healthcare outcomes, and help good governance of the public sector by enhancing transparency and accountability [4]. Richard Saltman discussed the impact of the digital revolution (referring mainly to computer technology) on the tax-funded healthcare systems of Europe.
