I chose to go with the Healthcare industry as it relates to information technology. Honestly healthcare was my initial degree choice. I've always accelerated in math and science related courses like Chemistry for example. Anatomy made me realize that I no longer desired to become a nurse! Information Technology in healthcare or the medical field continues to advance rapidly.
Even when you think of simple things at emergency rooms like the check in process. In the early years of emergency rooms there was a paper sign in sheet. You wait to be called up to complete the digital process that includes getting your wristband printed. Nowadays you can schedule an emergency appointment ahead of time as well as get in line to hold your space in a patient queue. Many doctors offices also offer their patients the opportunity to complete most of the first time visit prescreen paperwork prior to coming into the office for their scheduled visit.
Another healthcare advancement as it relates to information technology is doctors visits via Zoom or teladoc appointments. This has allowed patients to receive rapid medical treatments as well as keep healthcare professionals a little safer during the recent years with Covid. Those are some pretty significant medical advances just to name a few. If you really put it into perspective these small changes have impacted the emergency room visit experience for all parties in a tremendous way. It is extremely important for professionals in this industry to have a good understanding of how to navigate using technology through their daily tasks as it impacts their patients overall experience. Medical advances in technology never surprise but hopefully in the next 10 years we continue to find treatments for life threatening illnesses to continue to expand life expectancy for everyone and their loved ones.
