The future of Health IT and the Amazing

The future of Health IT and the Amazing Progress
we can expect by 2020
2
1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.
