Brainstorm a new type of health care technology that you believe would contribute to the health management information systems (HMIS) evolution. This technological advancement should either not yet exist or should serve to enhance existing technology to achieve an entirely new objective. What health care problems or challenges have you noticed for which there is not yet a solution? It is essential for health care administrators to be aware of the rapidly evolving and ever-changing field of health technology, both in terms of current as well as upcoming informational and system advancements. Assume that you are a health care administrator for an organization and you have been tasked with presenting this new technology to your organization's key stakeholders. After selecting your topic for this assignment, compose a 750-1,000-word proposal that addresses the following:
The purpose of this assignment is to brainstorm a new
type of health care technology that might contribute to the HMIS
evolution.
The Internet is completely revolutionizing the way
technology can be used in health care. Health care information is
becoming more widely accessible through a range of telehealth
options, and consumers are now far more computer savvy than at any
time in the past. Individuals can use the Internet to research
symptoms or diseases, as well as possible treatment plans, and seek
out medical professionals or advice.
Technological advancements are also helping
individuals to be more tuned in to their own bodies and aware of
their individual health patterns and activities. Smartwatches and
other wearable fitness trackers can track heart rate, movement and
activity, and sleep cycles, while smartphones enable users to
manage caloric intake, monitor diabetes, and even perform health
services remotely, such as measuring blood pressure or conducting
ultrasounds.

compose a 750-1,000-word proposal that addresses the
following:
Describe your new HMIS technology and what purpose it
will serve. Who will most benefit from it? What gap will it fill in
the health care technology field? How will this technology improve
the quality of health care that clinicians can offer?
What are the potential advantages and disadvantages of
this HMIS technology for the consumer? In this case, the consumer
is both the health care organization and the individual user or
patient.
How will the use and integration of this technology
impact digital equity in the HMIS field?
How will this technology collect, read, and interpret
health data? Why and how will this data be useful to the health
care organization?
From an administrative perspective, describe when,
how, and where you propose this technology first be introduced, and
discuss how you foresee it impacting the organization
( 1 ) HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS (HMIS)
Healthcare Management Information System(HMIS) is that system in which collection, utilization, analysis and transmission of information is done for conducting health services, training and research.
PURPOSE OF HMIS TECHNOLOGY:
To provide reliable, latest and useful health information to all
level of health officers and administrators.
To amend health policies and working system on the basis of
feedback received from health information system.
To provide information about periodically and time bound programmes
and mid term evaluation.
To contribute towards achievement of objectives of health policies
and programmes.
To increase efficiency and quality in health management.
BENEFITS OF HMIS
TECHNOLOGY:
The health management information system (HMIS) is an instrument which could be used to improve patient satisfaction with health services by tracking certain dimensions of service quality. Quality can be checked by comparing perceptions of services delivered with the expected standards. The importance of patient assessment is a part of the concept of giving importance to patient's views in improving the quality of health services. Expected benefits include enhancing patient satisfaction through improved communication; greater provider sensitivity towards patients; enhanced community awareness about the quality of services; and overall better use of services in the health system.
(2) ADVANTAGES OF HMIS:
Improve cost control
Increase the timeliness and accuracy of patient care and
administration information
Increase service capacity, reduce personnel costs and inventory
levels
Improve the quality of patient care.
DISADVANTAGES OF
HMIS:
Financial issues
Changes in workflow
Temporary loss of productivity
Privacy and security concerns
Several unintended consequences
(3)SOURCES OF
