Week 6 Discussion
Healthcare Information
Technology Trends
Throughout history,
technological advancements have appeared for one purpose before finding
applications elsewhere that lead to spikes in its usage and development. The
internet, for example, was originally developed to share research before
becoming a staple of work and entertainment. But technology—new and
repurposed—will undoubtedly continue to be a driver of healthcare information.
Informaticists often stay tuned to trends to monitor what the next new
technology will be or how the next new idea for applying existing technology
can benefit outcomes.
In this Discussion,
you will reflect on your healthcare organization’s use of technology and offer
a technology trend you observe in your environment.
