AbstractInformation technology is one of the major trends in today\\'s world, and it is changing every professional. It is imperative for healthcare leaders to understand the emerging information technologies, and how those technologies can transform the delivery of healthcare and the administration of healthcare institutions.
There are several different technologies that will transform the healthcare field in the coming decade. Already, we have seen the emergence of distance health care. While initially developed for rural communities, the increasing use of apps, ubiquitous high speed internet, and new applications of long-distance health care promises to shift more care to the home, including many diagnostic functions previously only available at healthcare facilities.
Artificial intelligence is the next wave in the development of healthcare decision-making systems. AI will advance such systems by imbuing them with the capacity to learn, to continually upgrade their knowledge, to build on what they learn. These systems will soon become smarter and more capable than human practitioners, with substantial implications for the efficiency and accuracy of health care delivery, and on the administrative side impacting everything from staffing to liability.
Supercomputing will have a similar impact to AI – the ability to gather and process massive datasets will revolutionize care by providing evidence-based decision making much more quickly and accurately than was ever possible before. Data-driven clinical support systems will take health care from a field that still often struggled with the concept of electronic health records directly from the 20th century to the 22nd.
Introduction and Major Technologies
There are several major information technologies that will transform healthcare over the course of the coming years. In laying out a plan for the next decade, it is important to understand not the individual technologies so much as the broad trends. The shape and direction of these trends informs us as to the potential developments in the future. We can already imagine what some of these developments will look like – they range from modest improvements over today\\'s technology to quantum leaps that seem more like science fiction. Healthcare administrators needs to position themselves today, via the decisions that they make, to be ready for these changes in the future, and it starts with understanding the different types of emerging IT on what the implications of that IT will be for health care provision in the future.

Healthcare: Heath Information Management Population health management (PHM) has gained prominence in mainstream healthcare organizations in recent years for the simple reason that healthcare is changing, and physician groups and healthcare systems are being forced to adapt to the new system, where they are rewarded based on how well they are able to meet the quality objectives of the entire patient group and not just individual patients. The 21st century healthcare
Health Care Administration A recent change in Health IT architecture or infrastructure is the use of cloud computing. In the present day, cloud computing is having a positive effect on healthcare processes and outcomes and the healthcare organization as a whole through the provision of quality services to patients. To begin with, healthcare organizations have shifted to a digital basis in the contemporary where they gather a great deal of data.
