1. PROBLEMS AND CONSTRAINTS  ASSOCIATED WITH HEALT HCARE   TECHNOLOGY Presentation by R. Deepika MHA 2 nd year

2.                    INTRODUCTION

3. HEALTH         Health is a "complete state of physical, mental and social well-being of an individual and not merely absence of disease or infirmity and to lead socially and economically productive life." HEALTHCARE           According to the  World Health Organization  (WHO), a well-functioning health care system requires a financing mechanism, a well-trained and adequately paid  workforce , reliable information on which to base decisions and  policies , and well-maintained  health facilities  to deliver quality medicines and technologies.

4. 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. HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY  It’s the application of organized knowledge and skills in the form of devices, medicines, vaccines, procedures and systems developed to solve a health problem and improve quality of life. The emerging technology in the healthcare sector is adding convenience at the patient’s end and making the provider’s life easier.           

5. PROBLEMS  AND CONSTRAINTS ASSOCIATED WITH HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY The problems and constraints associated with healthcare technology are 1.   No Remote Access 2.   Existing Siloes in the Healthcare World 3.   Issues with Medicare and Medicaid Reimbursement 4.   Absence of Supply Management System 5.   Managing the Massive Volumes of Patient-Related Data 6.   Inefficiencies and Errors in Data Sharing

6. 7.   Lack of knowledge and training in handling healthcare care technology. 8.   Competitive advantage 9.   Data security 10. Use of outdated technology 11.  Data Privacy and Regulations 12.  Integration and cost effectiveness 13.  Simple user experience 14.  High performing and high quality solutions

7.                                        EXAMPLES 1. PROBLEMS IN ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS Storing information electronically makes it more vulnerable to security violations and hackers. Healthcare practitioners may come to over-rely on electronic records and forget how to work without them. Errors may result from entering incorrect numbers or typos. Some systems are difficult to use or navigate. The system could go down or experience technical issues. Although some costs may be saved on testing, implementing and maintaining the system, training people to use it, and uploading or incorporating old paper files may be expensive.

8. 2. PROBLEMS IN DIGITAL DIAGNOSIS AND TELE HEALTH Doctors don’t always see the patients, so patients and doctors alike may miss visual cues, misinterpret messages, or miss important physical features or cues that could aid in diagnosis. Communicating online in chats and emails is not secure. A doctor licensed in one state might not meet licensing requirements for another. Digital diagnosis may mislead people into thinking they have more severe issues.

9. 3. PROBLEMS IN MEDICAL ROBOTS Overreliance on robots A surgeon does not physically feel what he or she is doing May require unnatural position during surgery Training varies by hospital Technical problems Electric power can cause burns More expensive More training May take longer to operate

10.                                    CONCLUSION Globally healthcare IT, is to improve the patient's safety and quality of life. Addressing the challenges must be a high priority for organizations that use these systems, health IT vendors that develop them, and government organizations that help fund and establish policies for their oversight.
