Informatics has changed dramatically in the past 10 years. The changes in health care alone have forced organizations to do things far differently than they once imagined.
Scenario
You are a member of a planning committee in your organization whose purpose is to research and report on future trends in the field of informatics. You will look at future trends in informatics that can improve your organization’s health care strategy and day-to-day patient care. In addition, you will consider how the technology is designed and whether your co-workers or patients will be willing and able to use it. You are preparing a report that will be delivered to your committee’s sponsoring executive.
Identify the stakeholders in your organization that you would be presenting to. This is the first step in what will ultimately be a formal 5-year plan proposal for technology investments and resource allocation, which will be delivered to your board of directors for approval.
Create a report that outlines the 3 hottest trends that are forecast for informatics. Use data to support your conclusion. This will provide you with timely knowledge of what is happening in the field.
Answer the following questions in your report:
How would your selected trends affect patient outcomes?
How can these technologies be used to address specific challenges facing the health care industry? For example, AI can be used to develop personalized treatment plans.
What are the steps that need to be taken to implement these technologies? This could include discussing the costs, risks, and challenges associated with implementation.
Provide examples of how each trend is already being used to improve health care. This could include examples from other hospitals, health systems, or even other industries.
