Health Care Technology Trends
Today’s healthcare systems are so intricately maintained and for the most part quite efficient. Hospital, Clinics, and Physicians alike are always looking for ways to make documenting the patient’s health record accurately and efficiently. One of the better know systems in place right now would be Cerner, a company that is a one-stop shop, that develops, builds, sells, implements and supports health devices and hardware. The company also adds services to include; training on site and remotely, revenue cycles, operation management, health care data, to name a few. Cerner operates into two segments, one Domestic that includes expenditures and contributions of revenue that come with business activities in the United …show more content…
Kaiser decided to implement a system that was not designed for such a large-scale organization, so basically they pushed the program to its fit the size of the organization. It is expensive to maintain and eventually it will tiptop its value at one point or another. Knowing those other competitive companies invested in well-performing software like Cerner that cost much less to implement and maintain, will they eventually be forced to divide into specialized entities to stay in the market? Time will tell, the most complex software becomes its behaviors change, which could lead to an IT failure that can lead to a collapse of the organization as they know it. As Kaiser being the largest and most complex the risk is much greater (Mortensen, Z. …show more content…
One Example of how agile cloud-based information is was when AthenaHealth had the ability to push through travel history of an Ebola patient questionnaire to its HER AthenaClinicals under an hour, all while the frenzy of the media was going on regarding the hospital 's inability to treat the patient that had Ebola. Most hospital systems are not able to push almost real-time updates like cloud-based HER’s are capable of. Another quality of the cloud-based EHR systems can do, is to enable physicians to do what they do the best, that is to practice medicine and give the patients the best quality
