justify;\"><strong>The patient as center<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hospitals and the healthcare industry in general currently live in their own two-speed world.\u00a0On the one hand, the unstoppable growth and technification of medical procedures and diagnostic techniques (including the robotization of some truly complex procedures);\u00a0the surprising advances in materials for clinical use (some of them generated with 3D printers), the use of smart drugs or gene therapy;\u00a0and on the other, the contrast with traditional and bureaucratic organizational methods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let&#8217;s remember a no-brainer: hospitals exist to care for patients.\u00a0Patients who sometimes feel in these health organizations as being on a production line organized internally and not looking precisely at their needs and expectations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That is why the true digital transformation of hospitals must begin by understanding the patient\u2019s needs.\u00a0Starting with the ailment that has brought him here (or better yet, preventing him from coming here).\u00a0But also because of its context;\u00a0their way of life, their habits, their family, and social environment.\u00a0Furthermore, understand that the patient is and will increasingly be an\u00a0active digital subject.\u00a0Subject\u00a0with access to technologies that can and should be used as an integral and natural part of their healthcare process.\u00a0Health organizations must look at the patient and organize themselves to serve them efficiently and effectively, from a human and technical point of view.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It seems evident that Digital Transformation in the healthcare environment is something that is here to stay and that is increasingly demanded by patients.\u00a0Clinics that fall behind will be missing the train of progress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The digitization of medical records by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.astron.international\/medical-record-and-health-information-technician-course.php\">medical records technician<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>includes great benefits for the management of a medical center:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>It makes the physical space profitable, due to an increasing problem of space in the file.<\/li>\n<li>It allows electronic access to the digitized medical record from the Intranet and from any workplace.<\/li>\n<li>Increases the final quality of the file through a fast information recovery system.<\/li>\n<li>It guarantees the preservation of the medical record in a suitable electronic format.<\/li>\n<li>It reduces the movements of clinical history that could be generated motivated by research studies, consultations, or others.<\/li>\n<li>Reduces time and resources for searching medical records by registered health information technician.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid possible archiving errors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reputed hospitals have an excellent\u00a0Service for the Digitization of Clinical Histories\u00a0so that the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.astron.international\/medical-records-and-health-information-technician-faculty.php\">medical records technician<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>can have this information quickly on their own personal computer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.astron.international\/on-campus-medical-record-and-health-information-technician-course.php\">Medical records and health information technicians<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>store all the documentation and patients reports at hospital premises in the form of software data. Another important feature is that digital health records allow communication between patients and professionals in encrypted form, which complies with current security regulations.\u00a0It allows quick access to the most relevant information (history, clinical course, medication, constants) helping to improve patient follow-up and quality of care among specialists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Connected health systems<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Of course, patients want and demand that their information be used comprehensively and intelligently.\u00a0It is frustrating and irrational for the patient to repeat personal and family history repeatedly, even within the same hospital.\u00a0Disintegrated data is practically a recurring problem throughout the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Medical records and health information technicians can intelligently collect the large amount of data produced by medical institutions. This data reduces the problem of repeated submission of personal and family history information in the hospitals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this sense, the predictive capacity of intelligent algorithms will be a source of disruptive innovation for the hospital sector.\u00a0Impacting both the clinical processes and the administrative and economic management of the hospital sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All areas of society are experiencing Digital Transformation and at different rates, they are adapting to a new reality.\u00a0The healthcare sector is not an exception, but advances in Digital Health are more slowed down.
