Scenario
The HIT Innovation Steering Committee of a large, integrated healthcare system is in the process of examining the potential impact for new emerging technologies. The Committee is aware that HIT is rapidly changing and that they need to proactively plan for upcoming changes. As a member of this committee, select an emerging technology discussed in the module readings and lectures. Research how this new technology could affect patients, healthcare delivery and data analytics. Based on your learnings, write a White Paper for the Committee describing your findings and recommendations.
Instructions
Create a WHITE PAPEr that includes:
- Discussion on why emerging technology poses a challenge for healthcare organizations
- Discussion of the chosen emerging technology including reason(s) for selection
- Discussion on the potential impact on patients, healthcare delivery, and healthcare organizations
- Provide insight into how extracting and analyzing the potential data (administrative, financial, and clinical) benefits or poses challenges for healthcare organizations
- Provide recommendations on how the organization can strategically plan for emerging technology
- Reference page of resources utilized

Discussion on why emerging technology poses a challenge for healthcare organizations
Introduction
The healthcare industry is going through a massive transformation. From technology to cost-cutting, everything has changed. With the emergence of new technologies and advancements in medical science, we are now able to provide better care to our patients by using more advanced techniques.
Emerging Technology
Emerging technology is a broad term that includes any new technology that is not yet fully developed. It can be used in many different industries, including healthcare, and often has more expensive hardware costs than existing technologies.
Risks and benefits of emerging technology
Emerging technology has both risks and benefits. While the benefits are numerous, the risks can be difficult to manage. Here are some tips for maximizing your healthcare organization’s use of emerging technologies:
Identify the benefits that you want from emerging technologies by considering what type of information you need from them, who will be using them and when they’ll be used. This will help you decide which types of software or systems make sense for your business needs. It also helps set priorities in terms of which ones have high impact versus low impact on operations (and therefore should receive funding).
Understand how much risk exists with each application before making any investments into its development process – this may include looking at other organizations’ experiences with similar products as well as conducting research on similar projects within your own industry/organization before committing resources towards implementing something new like artificial intelligence (AI).
Leveraging emerging technology for patient care
Emerging technology can help healthcare organizations better serve their patients, employees, communities and society.
Patients: Patients who are able to connect with health care providers through emerging technologies have improved access to services and information. For example, patients may be able to get advice from virtual assistants or share their experiences with friends via social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter. These interactions give them a sense of community as well as better access to treatment options for specific diseases or conditions.
Employees: Employees who enjoy working remotely are less likely than those who do not use these types of tools because they feel more connected with colleagues across town or around the world when they communicate through video calls instead visiting each other in person at work sites every day (or even once per week). In addition, remote workers have greater control over their time because it doesn’t matter where they live anymore – they can spend time researching topics online while being productive at home during off hours without sacrificing quality sleep due lack issues like jet lag when traveling constantly between countries/states/stateside cities during peak seasons such as summer months when airfares tend increase exponentially due weather patterns changing rapidly throughout regions located farther away from equator line.”
Why emerging technology poses a challenge for healthcare organizations
The healthcare industry is facing a lot of challenges.
Emerging technology poses a challenge for healthcare organizations, but there are ways to overcome them.
Overcoming challenges to employ emerging technology within the healthcare organization
This section will discuss the importance of having a plan, budget, strategy and right people in order to overcome challenges.
Having a plan: it is important that you have a clear vision for how you want your organization to evolve over time. A good way to start this process is by developing an overarching strategy that encompasses all aspects of your organization’s future direction.
Having a budget: You need financial resources in order to implement new technologies within an organization or develop new products and services outside its current structure (e.g., through acquisitions). It is also important that you understand what kind of capital expenditure (CAPEX) costs there may be associated with implementing new technologies so that these do not exceed available budgets too soon after implementation starts!
Discussion on why emerging technology poses a challenge for healthcare organizations
Healthcare organizations are being forced to adapt quickly due to the changing nature of technology. Emerging technology can be a challenge for healthcare organizations because it’s constantly evolving and changing, making it difficult for them to keep up with the pace at which new innovations are emerging.
The best way for healthcare organizations to deal with this challenge is by embracing emerging technologies and using them as part of their daily operations. By doing so, they’ll be able to improve their quality of care while also reducing costs by adopting new systems that allow them access information more efficiently.
Emerging technologies can bring the healthcare industry to the next level by improving the quality of care and reducing costs.
Emerging technologies can bring the healthcare industry to the next level by improving the quality of care and reducing costs. However, there are risks associated with employing emerging technology within your organization.
Conclusion
Emerging technologies can bring the healthcare industry to the next level by improving the quality of care and reducing costs. Future developments such as artificial intelligence, big data, robotics and more will continue to transform how we live and work in this new age of science. However, as these new innovations become more integrated into our everyday lives, it is important that healthcare organizations are prepared for any challenges they may pose when trying to implement them within their own organization
