Discussion: Healthcare Information Technology Trends

Throughout history, technological advancements have appeared for one purpose before finding applications elsewhere that lead to spikes in their 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.

To Prepare:

• Reflect on the Resources related to digital information tools and technologies.

• Consider your healthcare organization’s use of healthcare technologies to manage and distribute information.

• Reflect on current and potential future trends, such as the use of social media and mobile applications/telehealth, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled asset tracking, or expert systems/artificial intelligence, and how they may impact nursing practice and healthcare delivery.

Write an essay of:

1. a brief description of general healthcare technology trends (THIS IS WHAT THE TREND we need to write on  Pediatric use of https://novabiomedical.com/statstrip-glu/index.php), particularly related to data/information you have observed in use in your healthcare organization or nursing practice. Below are the articles/studies regarding glucometer use in the pediatric population. You can use these journals/research to help you write the essay.

2. Describe any potential challenges or risks that may be inherent in the technologies associated with these trends you described.

• Then, describe at least one potential benefit and one potential risk associated with data safety, legislation, and patient care for the technologies you described.

3. Next, explain which healthcare technology trends you believe are most promising for impacting healthcare technology in nursing practice and explain why.

• Describe whether this promise will contribute to improvements in patient care outcomes, efficiencies, or data management. Be specific and provide examples.
