The start of 2006 finds a healthcare community facing an ever-increasing demand for services while at the same time finding costs nearly overwhelming. This combined with mandatory industry and legislative pressures have driven all sectors to seek out new and creative solutions. To succeed, technology services will once again be called upon to provide innovative effective solutions that can reduce cost, improve service and ultimately improve the delivery of care. Examples include the development of interoperable health networks, electronic patient records, improved clinical systems and intelligent data mining. In addition, 2005 initiatives such as security and privacy and health cost shifting will continue to be hot topics well into this year.
With each issue of Saince HIM Update we will bring our readers insightful and thought provoking reports on the many issues and challenges facing healthcare technology today. Our mission is to provide not only the supplier but also the consumer of healthcare automation with the timely information they need to succeed in an industry experiencing rapid change.
