In Vietnam, digital transformation in health is not only a strategic direction of the
Government but also an urgent requirement to improve the quality of healthcare services,
modernize the management system, and enhance people's access to health services. As an
industry directly related to human health and life, health is under considerable pressure to
innovate operating methods, apply technology to professional processes, and governance. For
successful digital transformation, Vietnam's health sector needs an overall and long-term
strategy, linking technology, people, institutions, and finance. Data standardization, digital
infrastructure investment, human resource training, and the promotion of public-private
partnerships are top priorities. Most importantly, the digital transformation of health needs to be
seen not only as technology but as a comprehensive revolution in the way of thinking about and
organizing health activities, towards the ultimate goal: improving the health and satisfaction of
the people of Vietnam. The article aims to analyze and clarify the basic contents related to the
theory and practice of digital transformation in current health facilities in Vietnam.

medical examination and treatment in Vietnam in the past period, there are still many problems
facing the current digital transformation of health care in Vietnam, namely: the quality of digital
transformation human resources is not uniform and lacks of synchronization and data
interconnection; the lack of synchronization and data interconnection; building information
