There is a constant flow of new releases of healthcare software, updates, and new technologies as the demand grows exponentially for health IT systems. The HiMSS '09 Conference was a central symposium for many new healthcare software launches and new system updates. Check out this laundry list of new technologies and software for the healthcare IT field. The list is focused on proprietary solutions, so it is by no means a comprehensive list of new healthcare solutions.
There are apparent common themes as seen from the list that are influencing the IT world in general. We can see SaaS (Software-as-a-service) as a major trend along with cloud computing. Additionally, we can see many applications being developed for the iPhone. Physicians and nurses alike can download medical record information onto their iPhones with many new software widgets developed solely for their iPhones. Perhaps, we will see in the coming years the iPhone as a main mobile communication updating tool for physicians, nurses, techs, etc. within healthcare organizations.

Hello Will,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post. It truly is exciting being able to watch so many new healthcare technologies evolve and become mainstream. Foresight does appear to offer many of these new technology solutions. It will be great to see, though, that all of these technologies and businesses can actually come together to improve healthcare while still maintaining a "free market" mentality to their healthcare offerings.
We shall see, however, how much of this "free market" will be curbed with the advent of a government healthcare plan.
Thanks again for your comment!
