2. hospital The word “ Hospital ” derived from the Latin word hospitalis which in turn derived from the French word “ hospes ” that means “ a host or a guest ”. The hospital is an integral part of a social and medical organization ,the functions of which is to provide complete health care both curative and preventive and whose outpatients services reach out the family and its home environment . The hospital is also a Centre for the training of health worker and for bio social researches. - WHO Expert committee ,1956.

3. TECHNOLOGY The branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science.

4. Dealing with technological problems 1.Interoperability   One of the biggest challenges facing the healthcare industry is interoperability.  As part of federal healthcare mandates, your organization must be able to keep patient data secure while also sharing it quickly with care teams. And not just your internal teams.  

5. According to the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), the scope of interoperability in healthcare includes “the ability of different information systems, devices and applications (systems) to access, exchange, integrate and cooperatively use data in a coordinated manner, within and across organizational, regional and national boundaries, to provide timely and seamless portability of information and optimize the health of individuals and populations globally.”   

6. 2.Big Data  Doctors expect it interoperability to include patient health data from wearable devices and consumer apps.  That’s a lot of data flowing into your system, adding to the already massive amount of information you’re currently dealing with.   According to a report by  Health box,  Healthcare’s big data can be boiled down to four principal “Vs”—Volume, Velocity, Variety, and Validity.    Bottom line : It’s a challenge not only for accessing and storing all that patient information, but also in converting it into meaningful insights. 

7. Payers, providers, labs, pharmacies, and other healthcare organizations generate a massive  volume  of patient data. So do sensors, smartphones, medical devices, and wearable's. With this data being provided in real time, the  velocity  bombards you with valuable information faster than you can make sense of it. The  variety  of data adds to interoperability issues, while also making it difficult to  validate  the accuracy of the information.   Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and other solutions can work hand-in-glove with clinicians to interpret the flood of patient data and use it to achieve better health outcomes. 

8. 3.Data Security  While interoperability and big data issues loom large, the towering concern you must defend against is the threat to patient data.   Cyber attacks against health systems occur with alarming frequency.  According to IT security firm  Sophos , 34% of healthcare organizations were hit by  ransom ware  in the last year.  

9. The average cost of a ransom ware attack, Sophos reported, was $1.27 million. That figure includes downtime, personnel hours spent, device expenditures, network costs, lost opportunities, ransom paid, and other expenses.   The worst part? On average, organizations that resorted to paying the ransom had only 69% of their data returned in an accessible form.  Ransom ware is only one threat to health data. Other forms of malware are still a recurring problem for health systems. Your IT team still must defend against viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other security gap exploitations. 

10. 4 . Outdated Technology   An outdated IT infrastructure hinders your efforts to overcome interoperability, big data, and data security challenges. Healthcare systems already strain under an increasing load of bandwidth-intensive connected devices, according to  HIT Infrastructure .   And that’s just one stressor. Adding in the software to needed to effectively process big data for example, may push your outdated system to the breaking point.  

11. But updating the system can also present challenges. Your legacy systems may not interface easily with newer software solutions, and yet are often too expensive to replace.  Custom application programming interfaces (APIs) and other workarounds can be built to connect modern software with legacy systems in some cases—but that adds work to your already overburdened IT team. 

12. 5.Competitive  Advantage  While contending with those four big challenges, you still have to compete with other healthcare systems in your area. Delivering high quality care is the number one way to attract patients, of course, but there are technology factors at play, too.  Some Of The Technologies Healthcare Systems Use To Gain A Competitive Advantage Include:  Telehealth    Electronic health records (EHR) and electronic medical records (EMR) 

13. Mobile health (mHealth) apps Interactive patient portals  Nextgen Connect    Business Intelligence (BI)  Health information exchange (HIE)   E-prescribing Pharmacy management   

14. Health care organizations use these technologies to increase patient engagement, comply with value-based care, streamline operations, and improve quality of care. But with IT teams already overwhelmed meeting other technology challenges, implementing new solutions can get pushed down in priority. As a result, you might lose business to competitors who can put these systems in place.
