The Internet has become our extended care team. It is where people go when they need health care information and non-healthcare information. Consumers are going to want instant access to their health information. Just send me a text when the results are ready would you?<\/p>\n<p>Health Information Technology Trends that are occurring:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>EMR\/HIS gold rush starting to easy up &#8211; The focus is now on leveraging data and value added and plug-in products<\/li>\n<li>Vertical and horizontal integration of PHI<\/li>\n<li>Big Data &#8211; Population health and quality measure are driving priorities; refocusing of positive predicative value; and logistics<\/li>\n<li>Patient empowerment is starting to emerge more and more in regards to personal health records, records portability, virtual care, devices, pricing transparency and new settings of care<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>About Indiana HIMSS<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Indiana Chapter of HIMSS is one of over forty affiliated chapters of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, the largest health care information systems professional organization in the nation.
