Theme:  Breaking  Down  Vendor  Silos  

Most  of  the  opera,onal  and  clinical  data  collected  by  healthcare  ins,tu,ons  is  locked  in  closed  systems  that  weren’t  designed  for  interoperability.  Fragmenta,on  within  the  hospital  is  one  of  the  overarching  problems  being  addressed  in  the  medical  world.  The  idea  of  breaking  down  vendor  silos  is  star,ng  to  take  center  stage.  Establishing  common  pla?orms,  systems,  and  standards-­‐based  interfaces  across  a  network  is  helping  to  connect  care  providers.

Theme:  Real-­‐Time  InformaEon  Exchange      As  digital  and  electronic  solu,ons  make  headway,  we  are  finally  waving  goodbye  to  the  fax  machine.  Web-­‐based  technology  ensures  the  informa,on  gets  to  the  appropriate  loca,on  in  a  clinically  relevant  ,me  frame.  When  ,me  is  of  the  essence,  as  is  oLen  the  case  in  trauma  or  emergency  situa,ons,  electronic  sharing  is  a  must.  Improving  the  speed  and  efficiency  of  informa,on  sharing  allows  medical  teams  to  iden,fy  the  pa,ent’s  transfer  needs.  It  also  provides  the  medical  staff  more  ,me  to  review  the  pa,ent’s  condi,on  and  prepare  surgical  rooms.      Read:  How  to  Transfer  Images  During  Pa,ent  Transfers

Theme:  Mobile  access      The  banking  and  financial  industries  have  given  consumers  instant  access  to  informa,on.    This  same  methodology  is  star,ng  to  hit  healthcare.  Today’s  pa,ents  are  becoming  increasingly  accustomed  to  having  informa,on  at  their  finger,ps  when  and  where  they  need  it.      When  it  comes  to  the  use  of  mobile  in  healthcare,  there  are  many  areas  where  mHealth  can  make  an  impact.  The  incorpora,on  of  mobile  and  telehealth  programs  into  major  hospital  networks  demonstrates  just  how  effec,ve  the  ability  to  provide  remote  care  can  be,  and  paves  the  way  for  greater  integra,on  of  the  use  of  mobile  into  the  healthcare  system  in  all  areas.    Read:  How  are  Hospitals  Making  the  Most  of  mHealth

Theme:  PaEent  Empowerment      Pa,ent  empowerment  –  the  prac,ce  of  leSng  people  take  control  of  their  healthcare  is  taking  hold.    On  the  heels  of  mobile  advancements,  countless  HIPAA  secure,  pa,ent-­‐centered  applica,ons  have  cropped  up.  It’s  no  secret  that  pa,ents  are  seeking  access  to  their  records  online  so  that  they  can  track  and  share  informa,on  with  providers  as  needed.  Pa,ent  portals,  secure  messaging  and  monitoring  are  just  a  few  tools  designed  to  give  more  power  to  the  pa,ent.    Read:  5  Ways  to  Increase  Pa,ent  Portal  Engagement

Theme:  Cloud  adopEon      The  cloud  revolu,on  is  changing  the  way  medical  informa,on  is  accessed,  shared,  and  stored.  Providers,  who  had  shied  away  from  the  cloud  in  the  past,  are  coming  around  to  the  idea  of  online  informa,on  storage.  Even  more  importantly,  the  business  leaders  at  major  healthcare  ins,tu,ons  are  demanding  cloud-­‐based  solu,ons  from  IT  teams.  A  main  driver  behind  cloud  adop,on  is  the  manifest  business  benefit  of  the  cloud,  coupled  with  reduced  skep,cism.  As  cloud  technologies  dominate  in  other  industries,  healthcare  is  following  the  trend.      Read:  Healthcare  Cloud  Services  -­‐  5  Use  Cases  you  Didn't  Know  About
