November 17, 2020Effects of Integrating a community health fair to improve population health
November 17, 2020This chapter pertains to the future of HIS and Technology. It acknowledges the application of emerging technologies in its infancy in health care and public health. The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has challenged us to incorporate technology into engaging and caring for patients in ways previously resisted. It has also given health informatics a significant voice in public health.
Name several emerging technologies being used to support HIS. Consider the impact of new technologies in your daily life, pre and post pandemic. Examples includes televisits, video conferencing, mobile health/devices, electronic health records, social media, and patient portals.
Papaw should be 2 Topic/Content pages, and 1 Reference page.
In Chapter 12, Eric Topol (author of The Creative Destruction of Medicine) argues that
radical innovation and a true democratization of medical care are within reach, but only
if we consumers demand it. We can force medicine to undergo its biggest shakeup in
history. What is your interpretation of this statement?
Explain if/how future technology improves the delivery of patient care.
Does it promote better patient outcomes? Why or why not?
