Hitachi Digital Services’ performance in the study and HFS’ views of its strengths and development opportunities for HCP services capabilities

Slide titled Hitachi Digital Services' performance in the study and HFS' views of its strengths and development opportunities for HCP services capabilities. On the left, a three-step Horizon ladder graphic highlights Horizon 3 Market Leader at the top, where Hitachi Digital Services sits, above Horizon 2 Enterprise Innovator and Horizon 1 Disruptor. On the right, two lists. The Strengths list covers six areas: value proposition, enabling AI-enabled care coordination through a common digital infrastructure and surround services with connected ecosystems; capabilities across the entire value chain with digital hospital, population health, and AI for health, augmented by hospital facility design and smart infrastructure; go-to-market via a conglomerate approach across Hitachi companies that brings tech and non-tech infrastructure, digital services, and AI enablement together with partnerships and geo-segmented sales; outcomes including continued cost optimization while AI streamlines services and processes to improve experience, plus improved equity by helping systems lift cancer screening uptake and identify disease early to improve health outcomes; innovation through the REACT Innovation Centre, a collaboration of providers, academia, and industry for client-driven product and solution development, and the LSBU Healthcare Hub and center of excellence, a collaboration with the NHS, Verizon, Visionable, Siemens, and LSBU focused on demonstrating future healthcare delivery models; and customer perception, which recognizes its partnerships as a catalyst for innovation, scaling, and impact, along with its affiliation with the larger Hitachi group in hospital settings. The Development opportunities list covers four areas: go-to-market, where the breadth of capabilities and brands must be better managed into a more cohesive narrative for buyers; outcomes, where explicit quantification across the quadruple aim would draw higher buyer resonance; customer, where addressing US markets and bringing advancements from other geographies is the opportunity; and partner, where accelerating value through a diversified ecosystem of differentiated startups, domain experts, and clinical specialists across markets is identified.
