1. EMR (electronic medical records) or EHR (electronic health records) - This is going to a huge effort on the part of many medical establishments. This system will take the “health history” of an individual and create a so called electronic medical record that will follow a patient anywhere for patient safety and more accurate treatments. All of the is over a huge network and storage systems along with integrating several applications.

Job Title Examples: Developers, Programmers, Project Managers, Billing and Coding specialists, systems analysts but most will say EMR or EHR.

Job Title Examples: Almost always will have the terms “enterprise architecture” or “data architecture” or “data modeler” in the title. Usually a mix of SOA, data warehousing, ER modeling, Diagram modeling, frameworks, and strategy.

4. Patient Safety related systems & Quality - This area of healthcare will use systems and applications to reduce with the goal to eliminate medical errors in and efforts to drastically increase healthcare quality and communication.

Job Title Examples: Quality and patient safety will usually be part of the title and are non technical. The technical positions will be developers/programmers or applications tester of these types of applications.

5. Interoperability - Overall this area covers bringing together healthcare information technology systems together and integrating them in order for them to work together across locations and then have the ability to deliver quality useful information to service it’s end user.

Job Title Examples: Project management, software engineer, sometimes within informatics, architect and, analysts.

There is so much to know within each of these 5 but there is much opportunity for one with technical skills to seek out so many facets of healthcare.

Adobe Systems to Discuss Managing the Transformation of Healthcare at 2008 Health Technologies Conference and Expo

November 1st, 2009

For Immediate Release

Adobe Systems to Discuss Managing the Transformation of Healthcare at 2008 Health Technologies Conference and Expo

Healthcare is more complex now than at any other time in history. Individuals benefit from a dynamic “community of care,” including primary care physicians, specialists, case managers, surgeons, social workers, nurses, and others. However, this extended community has increased the likelihood that individuals complete redundant paperbased documents, with specific care-related information is stored in separate files, and that privacy may be compromised.

Concurrently, healthcare providers are striving to improve patient care, reduce costs, protect patient privacy, and enforce compliance by streamlining and automating processes. Experts agree technology is the solution. However, though healthcare providers have invested heavily in software applications from a variety of vendors over the last few decades, they are still struggling to make them work more efficiently—when and where they are needed the most.

Join Adobe at the 2008 Government and Health Technologies Conference and Expo on April 15 -16, 2008 at the Design Exchange in Toronto Ontario.
