Here are four advancements that we experienced in healthcare.     #### What is the future of healthcare? Learn what HNI leaders think about the future of healthcare - predictions, inspirations, worries and everything in between. LEARN MORE   --- #### Use of Digital Technology Skyrockets Technology advances at an incredible rate, so it is no wonder that more sophisticated systems have drastically changed the delivery and analysis of healthcare. Not to mention the increase in healthcare access for physicians, clinics and patients. Ten years ago, it was under question whether clinics had the capacity or budget to incorporate handheld technology, such as iPads or data tracking software, into their workflow. Today, we see widespread use of such [technology that uses health data software →](https://blog.hnihealthcare.com/vitalsmd-is-changing-the-way-physicians-manage-a-clinical-episode)to streamline patient access, easily organize files electronically and track and analyze health data – leading to better health outcomes and a [streamlined experience. →](https://blog.hnihealthcare.com/the-value-of-uniting-the-care-continuum) #### [See how this software improves care transitions here. →](https://hnihealthcare.com/vitalsmd.html)   #### Healthcare Analytics Becomes Mainstream Increased process improvement was realized through the widespread use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and healthcare analytics. ![FEB Blog Graphic 1-3](https://blog.hnihealthcare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FEB%20Blog%20Graphic%201-3.gif?width=327&name=FEB%20Blog%20Graphic%201-3.gif) As told by [ThriveAP →](https://thriveap.com/blog/6-ways-healthcare-transformed-over-the-last-decade), “the implementation of healthcare analytics over the last decade has provided monumental opportunities for improvement in healthcare by offering insights into hospital management, patient records and engagement, spending, diagnosis’ and more.” By 2017, 95% of hospitals had adopted an EHR ([ThriveAP →](https://thriveap.com/blog/6-ways-healthcare-transformed-over-the-last-decade)).

Telemedicine struggled to gain footing in part because “low reimbursement rates and interstate licensing and practicing issues limited its widespread use.” ([ThriveAP →](https://thriveap.com/blog/6-ways-healthcare-transformed-over-the-last-decade)) In response to the boom in telemedicine, resulting from COVID-19 consumer trends, “CMS expanded the availability of telehealth through the use of waivers and flexibilities to ensure continued access to care.” ([National Law Review →](https://www.natlawreview.com/article/telehealth-key-takeaways-cy2022-pfs-final-rule)) Telemedicine is here to stay, and we can expect it to continue to expand in service offerings and popularity. #### [Have you seen the latest trends in healthcare? →](https://blog.hnihealthcare.com/emerging-trends)   #### Value-Based Care is the Future A 2012 prediction stated that, “the move to value-based reimbursement models is already in full swing, and is something that will not be reversed.” ([ThriveAP →](https://thriveap.com/blog/6-ways-healthcare-transformed-over-the-last-decade)) Since then, health systems’ investment into value-based care models has [become a necessity. →](https://blog.hnihealthcare.com/hni-fyi-4) Value-based care incentivizes physicians and facilities to improve patient outcomes and lower extraneous spending on superfluous treatments. #### [Learn more about the goals of value-based care and what it means to hospitals, providers, and patients. →](https://blog.hnihealthcare.com/hni-fyi-1)   --- #### Ready to revolutionize your hospital's management and elevate patient care to new heights?
