There was no Internet to connect capabilities

Unintended consequences of new technology

Vendor marketplace is dynamic

History of HIS

HIS followed the advent of computerization of U.S. society in general

1960s: Early software applications focused on accounting and financial applications

”Data” of finance and accounting involved dollars and cents (standardized and universally understood data elements)

1970s: Early HIS and tech vendors (SMS, now Cerner)

VO:

The task for health professionals is to provide the education and support needed to create the kinds of HIS we need in today’s challenging and changing healthcare environment.

Clinical, business, and technology health professions now can only be done proficiently with HIS knowledge, ability, and activity.

Reliance on vendors and change from acute, medical, sickness-based, institutional scenario to new model based on prevention, wellness, chronic care management, and care coordination create HIS challenges.
