LITERATURE REVIEW
Significance of digital technologies implication on the, HFH Healthcare’ in the U

According to the thought of Moser, 2012, it can be said that digital technology is helpful
in improving working conditions of every sector as it avails various easy options to businesses
which helps executing business activities effectively. As per observation, it has been identified
that digital technology have not only simplified work of healthcare professionals but it has also
saved life of many patients with quick and effective services. Digital technology have also
contributed in the improvement of medical process and practices that results in enhancement of
quick and effective services. It has been analysed that HFG healthcare is availing home based
services to its patient with the usage of advance technology. It can be said that availing home
based medical services is an easy task for any hospital as it requires high level of technology and
huge number of medical professional which owns capabilities of providing safe treatment to the
patients (The Impact of Technology on Healthcare, 2015). In relation to HFG Healthcare, it can
be said that importance of digital technology can be seen in the benefits for the company which
are described as below:
Easy to diagnose: Importance of digital technology can be seen as improvement of
patients care as medical staff of HFG Healthcare can use this mobile technology and other
medical software while treating employees. For example: Now a days, medical staff are using
software while providing treatment to patients in order to check their previous details. These
software are mostly helpful in some special cases when patient is unconscious or in a state in
which they cannot communicate to medical practitioners. As a result, this form of digital
technology is helpful in improving providing effective treatment to patients.
Ease in communication: Digital technology have make it easier for healthcare sector to
effectively communicate to their patients. It has been observed that HFG Healthcare can
formulate its own mobile application with which they can easily communicate to patients and
their related person like families (Ford, 2014). It can be said that this application is also helpful
in taking feedback from patients on the basis of performance which have been received by them.
Ease in storage of patients record: Digital technology is helpful in storing bulk of
patients record. HFG Healthcare can adopt cloud computing for storing information of its patient
for longer period of time. It can be said that cloud computing is the best of form of digital
technology which is helpful in storing details of employees without any fear of loosing it. It has
been observed that this technology will be helpful for HFG Healthcare as it helps them in
accessing patients data anywhere at any time.

As per the above stated significance of digital technology, it can be said that it will be
better for HFG Healthcare to use advance technology for improving their existing working
practices. Along with this, it also improves care and treatment which is being provided to
patients. As a result, it not only simplifies work of medical practitioners but also saves life of
many patients who receives effective treatment with digital technology.
Upgrade and raise clients satisfaction by the implication of digital technologies on 'HFH
Healthcare’ in the UK
As per the point of view of Kolb, 2014, it can be said that digital technology is
considered as the effective tool which helps in providing best services to patients as a result,
which helps in developing satisfaction level of clients as well. It has been observed that usage of
digital technology has numerous of benefits for healthcare sector which helps saving life of
patients with quick and effective treatment. Thorough evaluation of digital technology in
healthcare sector also tell that usage of this technology is improving medical practices which is
directly saves life of client. For example: HFG Healthcare is providing its medical services at
the home of patients which is a big task for medical staff to give equivalent treatment to serious
patients at home without taking risk of life. As a result, if this hospital is using digital technology
then they can provide quick services to its patients which will directly contribute in recovering
fast. It has been analysed satisfaction level of clients can only be embraced with the some
positive benefits which have been experienced by them while taking treatment from the staff
member of HFG Healthcare.
In addition to this, it has been observed that HFG Healthcare can upgrade client
satisfaction by using some technology which have been specified above. With the usage of
digital technology medical staff can easily diagnose patients at home with quick services in
critical conditions also (Shultz and Adams, 2012). As a result, patients will satisfied by receiving
best treatment from HFG Healthcare. It has been analysed that if HFG Healthcare will provide
some different and unique services to its customers, it will allow a defined reason to patients to
experience personalised services from medical practitioners. This will contribute in up gradation
of their satisfaction. Evaluation on patients of HFG Healthcare, it can be said that its clients
only feel satisfied that when they will receive life saving treatment or something additional
which have not been experienced by them in their life record. For example: If this hospital
provides surgical treatment to its patients belongs to elderly age group, this will be easier for

them to receive treatment at their home in the surrounding of their family member. As a result, if
HFG Healthcare is successful in operating that this patient at home with the usage of cloud
technology and mobile application to go through medical history of patient without any problem
it will build a positive relationship among medical staff and hospital (Salas and et. al., 2012).
This will contribute in developing positive relationship among them and improves their
satisfaction.
As per overall evaluation, it has been observed that HFG Healthcare can upgrade
satisfaction level of its patients by availing them quick and effective service with usage of
advance technology. It can be said that patients only meet satisfaction level by receiving
effective treatments which results in quick recovery.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This is one of the important and impressive part of research project because in this all the
crucial aspects of this project will be discussed. With the assistance of research methodologies,
all the issues related to the research project will be resolved in a appropriate manner. It is
important for the researcher to conduct all their activities within the time limit so that the goals
as well as objectives of the organisation can be achieved in a appropriate manner.
There are several sections that will going to be involved in this part such as research
approach, philosophy, data sampling and so on. This will provide assistance to the researcher in
doing proper investigation of the findings and to determine appropriate outcomes of it as well.
The investigator will set some guidelines for carrying out all their operations in effective way.
The methodologies which are advantageous for respective research are as follows:
Research approach
There are primarily two kind of research approach that is needed to be applied by the
investigator. Research approaches are Inductive approach and deductive. In Inductive approach,
several types of latest theories are implemented which are based on the different kinds of
assumptions as well as models, outcome of these are based on facts and figures (McGrath,
2012). Whereas, in deductive approach, present numerical facts and figures are being considered
on the basis of their observation. Present research is going to implement inductive research
approach.
Research Philosophy

This part point out several types patterns as well as beliefs which is going to be applied
by the researcher, thus the entire research operations will be conducted in appropriate way. It is
duty of investigator person to select correct philosophy for their enterprise so the results can be
accomplished in appropriate manner (Costen and Salazar, 2011). Furthermore, their are mainly
two type of philosophy Utilise in the research project one is positivism as well as another is
interpretivism. In positivism, the experts utilise maths as well as science related models. On the
other hand, in the case of interpretivism, major focus is on the quality of data which will be
gathered. This current study is primarily focus on implementation of digital technology, thus
researcher person will going to use interpretivism research philosophy.
Data Sampling
Data sampling is the method that will assist the researcher person in gathering particular
facts, figures and data. It is the effective way through which accurate results can be gained in the
end of the research project. Generally, there are two types of data sampling method by that
research data can be gathered and these two are probabilistic as well as non-probabilistic
(Rummler and Brache, 2012). Out of which in probabilistic method, number of respondents are
chosen according to the random sampling. Whereas, In the non-probabilistic method, odds of
several number persons are selected as per the samples. Apart from this, Non probabilistic data
sampling method is not at all effectual because in this collected data is not being evaluated in
accurate manner. Although, in the research project investigating person is utilising probabilistic
method of sampling. There are 30 respondents selected by investigator for this research project.
Methods of data collection
For continuing research project there is requirement of collecting data and there are
several methods of gathering data. There are mainly two types of information or data assembling
technique explanation of these are as follows :-
 Primary data – It is the first hand data gathered by the investigator which is not
published in any books, journal, newspaper and so on. There are several source of
collecting primary data such as interview, questionnaires, survey ans so on.
 Secondary data – This is that data which has been already published or used by anyone.
As well there are several different ways through which data will be collected such as
daily paper, diaries, books, magazines, diaries and so on (Sirmon and et. al., 2011).

Secondary data is utilise for collecting as well as gathering needed facts and figures that
will assist in generating high income or revenue in better way.
This research project is going to use primary data collection method for gathering facts
and statistical figures.
Ethical Consideration
Ethical consideration is the core concept of research project because it is the duty of
researcher person to be honest with the data has been gathered as well as not should be shared
with anyone other (Christopher, 2016). Along with this, it can be examined as the real rules and
regulations which is established within right or wrong mode in proper manner.
