Outline
Introduction
a. Modern technologies and technological trends have significantly transformed the healthcare sector. Technological advancements have led to better approaches and practices that meet the changing healthcare needs and emerging challenges.
Technologies and Their Relevance to SIC
a. Electronic Health Record (EHR): This is a digital version of a patient’s medical history created and managed by the healthcare provider. An EHR is a digitized real-time, patient-centered record that allows authorized users to access medical records and information instantly and securely (Farmer et al., 2018).
b. Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) Systems: A CPOE is designed to replace paper-based ordering systems by automating entering orders. It allows medical practitioners to create and store patient information, enter a full range of charges, create medication lists, maintain an online administration record, generate prescriptions, and review changes to orders by successive personnel (Prgomet et al., 2017).
c. Mobile Technologies and Apps: involve using mobile devices and technologies such as patient monitoring devices and mobile phones in healthcare. It comprises applications used in medical settings to home healthcare.
d. Internet-Based Applications: in medical settings, internet-based applications enable healthcare providers to rapidly access data that can aid in diagnosing health conditions and developing suitable treatment plans
e. Cloud Computing: Involves delivering computing services, such as mobile applications, servers, data storage, databases, networking, software, and data analytics over the internet for secure and flexible data retrieval.
f. Decision Support Systems (DSS): computer-based programs that provide accurate and necessary data that allow healthcare providers to analyze and understand medical situations and make informed decisions regarding the diagnosis and treatment of various health conditions (Sutton et al., 2020).
