Will Healthcare IT Trends Standardize

Press Release Author: wowgao

Industry: Healthcare

Press Release Summary:
As we all know there are dramatic changes taking place in the healthcare
market-changes that will impact all of us in the coming years. Whether it is new
government regulations or patients pushing for access to their healthcare
information, the fact is, these activities are driving transformation within the
market. Many governments and companies are working hard to create online systems
that extend business processes to constituents-including partners, customers, and
citizens for government agencies-with promises of reducing processing costs,
eliminating paper costs, shortening process cycle times, and providing better more
co-ordinated care. The problem is that these systems are hard to develop and
implement, and they are not consistently adopted. If we add to this the differences
in needs between Provinces and differing privacy and data collection requirements,
the challenge seems almost insurmountable. However, one way to solve this challenge
is to develop and adopt standards and best practices which can help improve the
connectivity between systems and more easily allows for sharing of information
between organizations.

Will Healthcare IT Trends Standardize?

As we all know there are dramatic changes taking place in the healthcare
market-changes that will impact all of us in the coming years. Whether it is new
government regulations or patients pushing for access to their healthcare
information, the fact is, these activities are driving transformation within the
market. Many governments and companies are working hard to create online systems
that extend business processes to constituents-including partners, customers, and
citizens for government agencies-with promises of reducing processing costs,
eliminating paper costs, shortening process cycle times, and providing better more
co-ordinated care. The problem is that these systems are hard to develop and
implement, and they are not consistently adopted. If we add to this the differences
in needs between Provinces and differing privacy and data collection requirements,
the challenge seems almost insurmountable. However, one way to solve this challenge
is to develop and adopt standards and best practices which can help improve the
connectivity between systems and more easily allows for sharing of information
between organizations.

One such solution is the PDF Healthcare Best Practices Guide. This \"Best Practices
Guide\" describes the attributes of the Portable Document Format (PDF) to facilitate
the capture, exchange, preservation and protection of healthcare information. The
PDF Healthcare solution allows organizations to save time, reduce costs, and improve
accuracy with a single container for EMRs and PHRs. As a result, healthcare
providers can better orchestrate the exchange of patient information between those
in the community of care and us as patients.

speaker at the 2008 Government and Health Technologies Conference and Exo to learn
