As information professionals, we are always looking for industry trends that will benefit from established methodologies but also drive innovation. Right now, one to watch is mHealth, the delivery of mobile applications to health professionals and patients (all of us!).
The mHealth revolution is expected to transform the patient experience and revolutionize the way patients interface with their health practitioners and manage their own personal care. The mHealth movement is expected to affect many areas of the healthcare ecosystem, especially where patients are concerned, such as admitting, scheduling, tracking, monitoring, imaging, as well as patient health records and wellness services.
This is an area with significant information management challenges. Companies need to make commitments to “evolving” standards in order to position for early entry. They need flexible solutions so that they can rapidly adopt to new standards.
In this session, researchers from Compass Intelligence will explore a number of key mHealth trends expected to impact the patient experience over the next 3 to 5 years. Seth Earley will provide insights on the relevance of information management practices to enable effective solutions in this new application space. In addition, he will identify areas of expected innovation, necessary to support market growth. Dr. Christian Reich, will provide his perspective on these important trends
