Most Americans will now have access to health care insurance
and insurance companies will work harder than ever to meet demands of insurers.
Insurers will want to be able to access their information online which is a
popular and easy form of communication that people love to use. With hospitals
and clinics having more patients than before, there needs to be a way to
alleviate all the future paperwork. Health Informatics is the answer and we
will be seeing it very soon in our hospitals and clinics. Associations and
companies are projecting that there will be an increase in Health Informatics
jobs in the years ahead.
Some job titles that will be seeing an increase are:
- Records Technicians
- Medical Assistants
- Patient Navigators
Many of these titles do not need very much higher education
and may just need a certification in order to do the job. However the pay in
these jobs is pretty good given their educational requirements which range
between $24,000 and $45,000 depending on the location of the job and
experience.
Why is this so important?
With so many jobs projected to be available there needs to
be enough people to meet the demands of the future patients. A lack of workers
will mean a slowing down in the Health IT industry, hospitals, clinics and the
American health care system itself.
Using Apps
App creators are realizing that people are becoming much
more interested in health care apps that focus on fitness and can help them
stay on track with doctors’ appointments,
health instructions and health overall. Apps like MyFitnessPal are
becoming popular among health enthusiasts that help the user become more
connected to their information.
Apps are helping users keep up to date in information such
as:
- Calorie counting
- Doctors nearby
- Symptoms
- Hotlines
- Conditions
- Nearby Facilities
- Inquiries to Doctors
With all the possibilities we have, it looks like it is
endless. What do you think about the direction we are moving in and how can we
help?
