Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) is progressing at an alarming rate. Before the coming of the New Year, in order to help everyone occupy the front line, the CEO and health care information technology experts discussed the tides that should be noticed in 2013.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, HIT has maintained a steady development trend in the past two years. Bill Spooner, CEO and Senior Vice President of Sharp Healthcare, predicts that this trend will continue in the next few years: "HIT will continue to be a hot job market in the next 2-3 years."

The healthcare information technology industry has been “walking the tightrope” to address privacy, data security, and the need to develop and upgrade infrastructure. Compared with other industries, HIT faces more challenges in the liability bill and privacy concerns. With the convergence of mobile technology, cloud computing, virtualization, clinical analysis and the upcoming ICD-10, HIT will become the most in the IT field in the coming year. Active part. In order to help everyone seize career opportunities, the following is a detailed analysis of the eight trends of HIT in 2013.

1. Mobile medical health

The use of smartphones and tablets in HIT is not a miracle. These facilities allow doctors, nurses and other health care workers to work in “mobile”.

The importance of mobile technology for the future of healthcare is clear, but the challenge is hidden in the Privacy Policy and Privacy Policy Privacy Policy. Joseph Hobbs, CEO of Anderson Community Hospital in Anderson, Indiana, said: "This is a big problem for any organization. Whether it's a mobile cart, tablet or smartphone, it must be done at the caretaker's fingertips. Another challenge for medical health is that it is not universally applicable. In addition to finding solutions to all problems, you have to worry about the security and application demonstration of all the different types of facilities."

When facing the penalties of the liability bill for errors, CEOs also have to deal with security data, equipment and processing links. Spooner said: "The real-time alarm tool is being developed to alert you when a patient's condition or environment changes, for timely intervention."

2, cloud computing and virtualization

Not only do CEOs face the problem of developing and upgrading infrastructure, but they also need to consider how to save money and resources. One of the ways that HIT IT experts try to achieve this goal is virtualization. This will become more common and will continue to heat up, so IT talent in cloud computing and virtualization will become very popular in 2013. Spooner said: "Many organizations have begun to virtualize services and storage, which will be a continuing trend."

Due to privacy and security considerations in the Liability Act, cloud computing still has resistance in the storage market. However, with the maturity and security performance of the cloud computing industry, medical institutions will increasingly use cloud computing. As a result, they can focus on their core business objectives. Spooner said: "As vendors provide mature products and prove their models are safer and more cost-effective, healthcare organizations will increasingly use privacy cloud technology, and cloud technology will gradually accelerate."

3. Analysis of big data and clinical data

Spooner said: "For all medical institutions, clinical analysis is the number one priority, and massive data is beginning to move from research to mainstream." Using clinical analysis, doctors can discover what is the most common disease and condition, and different treatment processes. Rehabilitation rate and remote real-time control of patient vital signs.

In the case of hospitals, this also provides a means of using population data to identify patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma and high blood pressure. These chronically ill patients often need repeated medical attention, and the information provided by clinical analysis can help better identify, train, and educate these patients to better cope with the disease and reduce expensive emergency and follow-up costs.

Spooner said: "We have found that more and more HIT companies are beginning to apply advanced analytical tools to look for opportunities in population health. This becomes increasingly important as the industry moves toward a collaborative responsibility healthcare model." The challenge and opportunity for IT professionals is to find an efficient way to store massive amounts of data and ensure data security.

However, of course, there is also a bottom line. Massive data provides a way for medical institutions to better examine where their resources are used, which in turn makes them aware of the cost of complex and expensive programs. As a result, the hospital or doctor can decide which specific area to invest more because it produces more. Or, in turn, they can decide to give up a field because they don’t make money or even lose money.

4, unified use of ICD-10

The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Issues, ICD, is a diagnostic code system used by the World Health Organization and is now common to medical professionals worldwide.

Although ICD-10 is used in many parts of the world, the US is still using ICD-9, an outdated code system. The medical classification list has different codes for symptoms, illnesses, injuries, external causes, and billing software, which is a good indicator of the importance of each category in the healthcare industry.

Spooner said: "The most critical is the conversion from ICD-9 to ICD-10. ICD-10 provides a more detailed code classification for more accurate repayments and research."

ICD-10 has about 68,000 code sets, and ICD-9 is only 13,000. It sounds scary enough, but the truth is much more than that. This is also a way to ensure that current and future software versions support this code. It is also refining drop-down menus, expanding text boxes, and motivating electronic health record providers to ensure they are seriously studying the matter.

Spooner said: "This shift has made every computer system have to include billing code, more than 50 applications in many organizations, and extensive training of clinicians and coders."

The date of unified use of ICD-10 was postponed until October 1, 2014. Due to cost and process implications, HIT is still “struggling to adapt” to this transition, and some suppliers are likely to release ICDs due to 2015. 11 and stopped, for example, AMA suggested that Congress block the order earlier this year.
