Healing Hands Hospital’s Future
Future Health care Trends
Reform Realities:-Pay-for-performance systems are set to be implemented.
IT upgrades:- better care delivery is accompanied by offering patients technology which supports that care.
Involves the introduction of electronic medical records.
It’s now shifting to ORs.
Introducing patients to personalized medicine.
Reform Realities-Pay-for-performance systems are set to be implemented meaning hospitals along with health systems will have to be more accountable than they have been. Every hospital facility has to come up with better strategies of tracking performance and the manner in which it provides its services.
IT upgrades-making better care delivery is accompanied by offering patients technology which supports that care. This has already begun with the introduction of electronic medical records and it’s now shifting to hybrid ORs. Besides, hospitals have to introduce patients to personalized medicine such as using their smart phones in tracking their heart rate and sending the data to their care providers’ mobile devices (In Geisler, In Krabbendam & In Schuring, 2003).

Billing will shift to value from volume-in future.
New payment mechanisms:-risk sharing, capitation agreement, bundling agreements.
Health systems super-size- consolidation of various health care units.
Billing will shift to value from volume-in future, healthcare systems will have to focus on high quality, improved outcomes, as well as, greater satisfaction. There will be new payment mechanisms which will include risk sharing along with capitation agreement, as well as, bundling agreements.
Health systems super-size-it is projected that as a result of the lower costs, increased efficiencies and better quality; the hospitals, pharmaceutical suppliers, health systems and other participants within the health care are set to consolidate within the next decade. The resultant mega-sized entities are set to cause the end of stand-alone hospitals (Spekowius & Wendler, 2007).

Technologies
Telemedicine-is expected to facilitate the delivery of cost effective health care in the coming future.
This is due to the fact that technology is not only cheaper but also much easier to utilize.
Electronic health data evolution- it is now possible to work with outside apps.
The easy accessibility of medical data makes greater the knowledge depth.
Telemedicine-is expected to facilitate the delivery of cost effective health care in the coming future. This is due to the fact that technology is not only cheaper but also much easier to utilize and various options are becoming available for every patient. Medical staff can connect with their patients through the internet by utilizing webcams.
Electronic health data evolution-as health records become electronic, it is now possible to work with outside apps, which play a significant role in capturing and recording more critical data. Besides, the easy accessibility of medical data makes greater the knowledge depth of not only the physicians but also the medical staff (In Geisler, In Krabbendam & In Schuring, 2003).

Innovations
Data Analytics: better population health management-as data is currently on a total mess.
This strategy tends to be poised to shift from pilot phase to the sustainability phase.
Emotional sensing: comprehending the patients’ feelings- to assist in understanding client’s point of views.
For instance, self-monitoring tools.
Data Analytics: better population health management-analytics is whereby health care will have to invest in exploiting the untapped potential as data is currently on a total mess. This strategy tends to be poised to shift from pilot phase to the sustainability phase in reference to the available research.
Emotional sensing: comprehending the patients’ feelings-newly invented tools are set to assist caregivers in understanding their client’s point of views thus enabling them to offer the appropriate advice on how to lead health behaviors to the clients. For instance, self-monitoring tools can inform the patients that it will be necessary for them to change (Spekowius & Wendler, 2007).
