Title: The future of Health IT and the Amazing
1The future of Health IT and the Amazing Progress
we can expect by 2020
21. Creation of specialized units for
fast-tracking healthcare services
3- Large-scale hospitals are being converted into
specialized units, such as the ambulatory
services units, oncology units and neurology
units etc. This trend has introduced the need for
a specialty-specific EHR which exclusively
covers the specialty based template requirements
for specialists. Due to the availability of such
support and ease, providers are able to
significantly improve the quality of their
services and therefore they are able to see more
patients within the same time slot.
42. Ever increasing adoption of the EHR technology
among hospitals and practices
5- According to the HealthIT.govs statistics, the
adoption rate of certified EHRs has risen from a
percentage of 71.9 in the year 2011 to a
commendable 96 in the year 2015. Hospitals and
providers, both, are shifting to the use of a
certified EHR solution due to the potential
benefits which come along with it. E-prescriptions
with an updated knowledgebase, render the
prescribing process smooth without any
unnecessary interruptions.
63. Preemptive approach for gene abnormalities
7- Eliminating mistakes even before they take place,
is something which was considered to be
impossible before. Scientists are now editing
disease genes present in human embryos, with
remarkable success rates two-thirds of the
embryos had their genes removed successfully. For
families which have been affected by genetic
diseases throughout generations, such a research
is a blessing in disguise.
84. Cyber security breaches result in compromised
user data
9- Credible health information is quite valuable,
hence the need for its protection against cyber
threats. According to Fortinets Q4 2017 Global
Threat Landscape Report, the healthcare industry
has seen a massive 82 increase in cyber-attacks.
This doesnt end here, the amount of malware
being targeted towards organizations in the
healthcare sector is also increasing at a steady
rate of 25. More interesting is the fact that
about 10 of such attacks are triggered by
botnets a group of computers controlled through
a malicious software, with the sole purpose of
sending out spam.
105. Emerging therapies make way for better
treatment plans
11- Day in day out, we hear about cutting edge
research making news with regard to newer and
better treatment methodologies. Recently,
Immuno-oncology has drawn focus on the
immuno-strengthening strategies for cancer
patients. This treatment approach focuses on
improving the bodys chances against the disease.
This therapy is being considered as an
alternative to chemo, with a steady success rate
in some patients.
126. E-measures automating the future
13- Measures are there for regulating the quality of
healthcare being provided to the patients how
satisfied do they feel after being checked and
how well the general is population doing, are
some of the common measures amongst the list of
quality measures. Electronic measures are here to
replace paper based measures for good. Not only
do they improve quality but streamline workflows,
through the provision of a thorough comparison
between the outcomes and the providers
performance.
147. Wearable technology is facilitating providers
and patients seamlessly
15- In recent years, wearable technology has been
transcending the potential of existing
technologies especially in the healthcare sector.
With applications in various fields of medicine
such as oncology and neurology, it is proving to
be fruitful for patients in many ways -
facilitating them in scheduling appointments with
providers, tracking their health and much more.
168. Artificial Intelligence opens the door to
unexplored avenues
17- Artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly
reduced the time spent by providers in diagnosis
and treatment of patients, enabling them to
perform better in the same time frame. Generation
of potential insights from patient data results
in better preventive treatment and reduced health
issues. Other applications of AI include virtual
nurses, creation of drugs, and monitoring of
patients in real time during treatment etc.
