Health IT trends 2015
Views From leaders in their healthcare roles with real-world experience from which they glean their predictions for 2015 and beyond.
Patient-to-patient social media collaboration
– “The value of social media going forward is going to drive healthcare decisions. Patients may reach out to each other becore they reach out to their clinicians – to collaborate and find each other online.” – Mary Beth Mitchell (Chief Nursing Informatics Officer)
App-driven data liberation
– “While this is already happening to a degree, liberating data through apps and other technologies will result in apps that sit on multiple sources of data to integrate and deliver the right information at the right time to patients and clinicians.” – Patrick Conway (Chief Medical Officer)
Traction on ‘care without boundaries’
– “The engagement and experience of those seeking to stay well or navigate through an episode of care will be fundamentally reshaped as ‘care without boundaries’ unfolds in the decade ahead.” – Laura J. Wood (SVP)
Customized personal health analytics
– “The use of mobile and personalized analytics in healthcare is what’s next to improve healthcare delivery with IT.” – Judy Murphy (Chief Nursing Officer)
Continuation of tech-enabled patient engagement
– “We are seeing a lot more technology focused on ongoing patient engagement. This technology enables us to stay connected between the traditional episodic touch points. That trend will continue.” – Roy Rosin (Chief Innovation Officer)
Streamlined patient-to-physician mobile app data
– “I think that we’ll be using mobile health apps to align information that consumers input. With mobile apps, we can take self-reported biological data and link into the doctor.” – Alan M. Muney (Chief Medical Officer, SVP)
