Mobile computing solution for healthcare institutions

Abstract - In this paper we look at information technology (IT) trends in the healthcare sector. We analyse recent changes in IT implementations in the healthcare sector to identify critical factors and technologies that are likely to be an integral part of healthcare institutions in the new millennium. We highlight the case of US based HIS who face IT challenges in light of a marginal percentage decrease in financial resources for IT purposes. IoMT is also disscussed in this paper.We identify the lack of an Integrated Healthcare Information System to be the most fundamental obstacle that is denying the productivity explosion needed in the healthcare sector. we look at some of the technologies that together could provide solutions. We use data from our collaborating organization to present a possible low cost IT solution.
