Technologies for Healthcare Transformation
The healthcare industry worldwide is undergoing a profound transformation to improve quality of care and reduce cost. At the center of this transformation are efforts toward the creation of an evidence-centric ecosystem that enables the generation of patient-centered medical insight from aggregated medical data. Such evidence must be delivered at the point of care in a highly consumable manner, and the evidence must be incorporated into models for policy decision-making. This special issue presents state-of-the-art applications of advanced analytics, visualizations, and medical records to enable such transformation.
Nontopical Papers
Two nontopical papers are included at the end of this issue. Topics include the assessment of "technical debt" by identifying design flaws in software systems and discussions on problem-oriented system architectures.
