The digital health space refers to the integration of technology and health care services to improve the overall quality of health care delivery. It encompasses a wide range of innovative and emerging technologies such as wearables, telehealth, artificial intelligence, mobile health, and electronic health records (EHRs). The digital health space offers numerous benefits such as improved patient outcomes, increased access to health care, reduced costs, and improved communication and collaboration between patients and health care providers. For example, patients can now monitor their vital signs such as blood pressure and glucose levels from home using wearable devices and share the data with their doctors in real-time. Telehealth technology allows patients to consult with their health care providers remotely without having to travel to the hospital, making health care more accessible, particularly in remote or rural areas. Artificial intelligence can be used to analyze vast amounts of patient data to identify patterns, predict outcomes, and provide personalized treatment recommendations. Overall, the digital health space is rapidly evolving, and the integration of technology in health

Reduce IT Complexity and Improve Utilizations through Convergence

Traditional IT  operations have been historically difficult to manage and maintain. Typically viewed as an infrastructure-centric center that includes maintenance costs and complicated applications. Digital Health Space envisions the electronic  health record that enables work flow  by focusing on services that improves productivity. IT should be elastic, nimble, modular, integrated, streamlined, high-quality, automated and software-defined.

 Health care providers,  hospitals, and other support personel are faced at times with overwhelming advances in technology.

WEBINAR  (on demand)

This webinar has been approved by HIMSS for up to 1 contact hour of continuing education credit toward renewal of the CPHIMS credential.

Health care personel tasked with evaluating and selecting solutions must critically evaluate software that minimally disrupts established workflow. Ethnology requires further project management for modifying established workflow for change if it is determined the new application is cost-effective and improves efficiency in the long run. Disruption may decrease efficiency for three to six months depending on it's compmlexity and learning curve.

 Unfortunately deficits in software do not become apparent until after implementation. Contract negotiations must include provision for software modifications (patches) and the limitations imposed by vendors. 

The Internet of Things may also provide links from the EHR or other applications as an add-on
