by Tandy Rocco (Editor)
The technologies or medical devices that have been designed or developed using IT systems, algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud or blockchain, which are meant for supporting the healthcare organizations fall under the umbrella of healthcare technology. The advancement of technology has led to the adoption of medical equipment and technologies such as electronic health records (EHRs) and diagnostic imaging machines. EHRs have substituted the paper medical records thus making it easier to access and organize the medical records, reports and other healthcare data. Technology solutions help in increasing the productivity as they maintain collaboration across systems and manage costs. Healthcare interoperability across diverse and fragmented healthcare systems significantly reduces the total cost of care by minimizing the number of unnecessary or repeated tests which ultimately help the clinicians make faster diagnoses. It further automates the process of measuring and capturing data of patient care to spot the specific issues that need improvement. This book outlines the processes and applications of strategic heath technology. It traces the progress in this field and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. This book includes contributions of experts and scientists which will provide innovative insights into this field.
