It is that time of year again – time to look at healthcare trends, predictions and technology innovations for 2018. Identifying trends is fairly simple, since it relies on looking back to see what the most popular topics have been and continue to be. Many trends tend to stay for more than a year as their momentum builds. Predictions are a little more difficult to identify and assure accuracy, since they are a look into the future. This year we will also be looking at the top 10 technology-related clinical innovations.

Healthcare Information Technology Trends & Predictions
- 1. HEALTHCARE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TRENDS & PREDICTIONS Pat Stricker, RN, MEd
- 2. A LOOK AT 2018 As new technology is adopted, new drivers emerge that affect how Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) is used to enable better care. The IDC FutureScape: Worldwide Health Industry 2018 Predictions looked at the following drivers to predict where healthcare IT will support care delivery over the next 3- 4 years. The following are the IDC’s health industry Top 10 Predictions for HIT in 2018:
- 3. By 2019, more than 50% of life science and healthcare companies will have dedicated resources to support accessing, sharing and analyzing real-world evidence for use across their organizations. REAL-WORLD EVIDENCE
- 4. By 2019 digital mobile engagement among companies, patients, and providers will increase by 50%, improving clinical trial recruitment & medication adherence. DIGITAL MOBILE ENGAGEMENT
- 5. By 2020, adoption rates of IoT- enabled tracking and inventory management systems in hospitals will double, improving patient safety, staff satisfaction and operational efficiency. INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)
- 6. By the end of 2020, 25% of medical data will be collected and shared with healthcare systems by the patients themselves (‘bring your own data’ or BYOD). PATIENT REPORTED DATA
- 7. One hospital in four with 200 or more beds will have robotics handling time-consuming tasks, thereby reducing labor, preventing errors, sustaining business operations, and improving patient safety. ROBOTICS
- 8. 20% of organizations will no longer be using pilot projects, but will be using blockchain for supply-chain management and patient identity. (A simple description of blockchain is “a new type of internet that allows information to be distributed but not copied”). BLOCKCHAIN
- 9. By 2020, 20% of healthcare and 40% of life-science organizations will achieve 15-20% productivity gains through the adoption of cognitive/ AI technology. COGNITIVE / AI TECHNOLOGY
- 10. Due to overwhelming data management requirements, by 2021 20% of payer back-office operations will outsource their business processes. DATA MANAGEMENT
- 11. By 2021, cyber-attacks will cause harm or death to patients connected to networked infusion pumps, resulting in large class-action lawsuits against medical device manufacturers for negligence. MEDICAL DEVICES
- 12. By 2021 digital healthcare services will account for 6% of global healthcare expenditure. DIGITAL HEALTHCARE SERVICES
- 13. HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY- PREDICTIONS Healthcare predictions are a little harder to determine than trends. This year they tend to focus on mental health, personalized medicine, genomics, population health management, consumer-focused innovation, collaboration among diverse partners, stability, and support for not-for-profit healthcare providers. The following are some of the Top Healthcare Predictions for 2018:
- 14. More hospitals and health systems will make innovative digital offerings a new source of revenue to offset declining reimbursements from traditional payers. Health systems will get directly involved in developing these new technologies. Value-added products and services will be offered directly to the consumer in order to keep them healthy and enhance their care. NEW REVENUE STREAMS: INNOVATIVE DIGITAL HEALTH OFFERINGS WILL CREATE NEW REVENUE STREAMS AND DELIVER VALUE-ADDED HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY TO CONSUMERS.
- 15. Technology startups will leverage scaled cloud computing and AI/machine learning platforms. We can expect to see more apps and technologies that help patients track everyday health habits and share them with their care teams. Real-time, ongoing dialogue between physicians and patients will lead to better care and more effective, customized health regimens. TECHNOLOGY: EMPOWERING PATIENTS TO BECOME MORE INVOLVED IN THEIR CARE
- 16. Genomic data will be integrated with clinical labs and other personal health information to solve health care mysteries and create the ability to practice precision medicine. Direct-to- consumer tests will continue to become even more popular, enabling people to delve into their genetic makeup. This data will be integrated into clinical care in innovative ways to enable a more personalized approach to medicine. This will eventually lead to preventing, delaying or curing diseases. PERSONALIZED MEDICINE: LEVERAGING DNA AND PERSONAL DATA WILL IMPROVE WELLNESS AND PREVENT DISEASE
- 17. Illness and care for those with chronic conditions. The social determinants of health – including access to care and services, reliable transportation, housing, education, and nutrition – will become the key focus. More emphasis will also be placed on the measurable outcomes achieved through these important alliances. POPULATION HEALTH WILL SOAR IN IMPORTANCE THIS YEAR
- 18. Mental illness and substance abuse are now the leading cause of death for Americans under 50, Community collaboration with health providers will increase to help people get access to care and resources. Collaboration will take place across many sectors, e.g. health care, schools, the criminal justice system, churches, businesses, social service agencies and veterans' groups. INNOVATION: NEW PARTNERS WILL ADDRESS THE GROWING MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE CRISIS
- 19. Providers will expand their reach to retail pharmacies, neighborhood wellness centers, grocery stores, and brick and mortar retailers. Since telehealth services are now reimbursed, convenient at- home telehealth services, e.g. video, email, chat or text will finally go main stream. AMBULATORY AND HOME HEALTH: CARE GOES EVERYWHERE
