Abstract

Saudi Arabia’s healthcare system is undergoing a transformative shift as digital technologies become integral to care delivery. Guided by Vision 2030, the Kingdom aims to integrate innovations such as telemedicine, artificial intelligence (AI), and electronic health records (EHRs) to build a more efficient, sustainable healthcare system. However, the success of this digital transformation hinges on the readiness of its healthcare workforce. This paper explores the current gaps in digital proficiency, identifies challenges in workforce development, and provides actionable strategies to equip healthcare professionals with the necessary skills to adapt to an evolving digital landscape. By prioritizing education, fostering collaboration, and ensuring equitable access to resources, Saudi Arabia can create a digitally competent workforce that meets the demands of the future.
