 Uncovering The True Health IT TrendsWell, 2012 is upon us, and you’ve likely already been bombarded with numerous articles, reports, and studies claiming to highlight the top health IT trends for the year. Let’s take a moment to revisit the meaning of the word “trend.” Merriam-Webster defines the term as “a prevailing tendency or inclination.” With this in mind, I’d argue that many of the health IT industry’s so-called “trend” reports have lost sight of this definition. |

 The Mobile Health RevolutionIt’s hard to ignore the impact mobile technology is making. Not just in healthcare, but in every facet of life. Our expanding ability to “do it now” is becoming the norm. Want to watch a movie? No need go to the theater or the rental store (or box) — just download from Netflix or iTunes and you can watch it immediately. Forget to pay your credit card bill? Just pay it from your smartphone. It is remarkable to see how impatient technology in general, and mobile technology specifically, has made us. We’re spoiled.
