New Platforms in Healthcare Technology

Health information technology is not less than a boom in the field of healthcare. Health technology significantly improves the quality of healthcare, increases patient satisfaction and safety, reduces number of medical errors, and also fortifies the interaction between patients and healthcare providers. In a 2010 survey titled Technology, medical tests 'changing the face of health care', Amy Bernstein, the report's lead author, a health scientist for the National Center for Health Statistics said that, “Technologies can be very helpful, there are newer and better technologies all the time, and they're changing the face of health care and practice patterns". To markup the value of E-Care Management, health information technology plays a vital role in improving healthcare delivery in America.

This aid has a repertoire of offerings to help patients and doctors to critically analyze more in the field of medicine. However, with the rapid increase in usage of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), the creation of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), and the rise of health information exchanges, the delivery of medical care became more trouble-free, study said. The following technologies are also considered to be a part of health technology, study said:
  1. Drugs: e.g., antibiotics, ACE inhibitors, aspirin, beta-blockers, antibiotics,
  2. Biologics: gene therapies, antibodies
  3. Devices: e.g., pacemakers, CT scanners
  4. Diagnostic tests: e.g. DNA fecal test for colorectal cancer, genome sequencing
  5. Medical and surgical procedures: e.g., psychotherapy, coronary angiography
  6. Support systems: e.g., electronic patient record systems, telemedicine systems,
  7. Organizational and managerial systems: e.g., cholesterol management program, billing and accounting.
All above stated paradigms are unique contribution in healthcare IT, since they can easily:
  • Prevent
  • Screen
  • Diagnose
  • Treat
  • Rehabilitate 
  • Assist to reduce errors
This is not the end, there's still room for improvement, says Lloyd Michener, director of the Duke Center for Community Research. "It's a call for accelerated efforts that will build partnerships between academic medical centers and public health groups in order to address some of our persistent health issues”, stated in a survey. More progress in medical technologies will endeavor better healthcare delivery with improved life expectancy and quality of life.
