SOCIOLOGY OF CULTURAL AND COMMUNICATIVE PROCESSES
The purpose of this course is to guide students towards understanding the deeper levers of a Digital Transformation (DT) which today must combine profit with sustainable social impact, particularly in the world of health and healthcare organizations and of the profession of the physiotherapist . To this end, students will be involved in exploring the socio-cultural-communicative, technological-social and marketing evolution that takes place around their lives, revealing the ultimate meaning of 'patient-centricity' and how this cultural and communicative process strategically falls within the phenomenon of digital transformation. The achievement of these objectives is possible through the application of the Digital Transformation Social Mindset (DTSM) model, that is, a set of cultural, communicative, and organisational "social markers" based on ethical and sustainability values. Built on the guidelines of the DTSM, the Four Paradigm Model (FPM) is introduced to students as a tool for analyzing, even in comparative terms, the DT strategy of an institution. Within the FPM, the FPM Radar measures the level of DTSM, indicating areas of strength and improvements to institutions.
