Practicing Healthcare 3.0 in a 1.0 Electronic Health Records World:
Today’s providers are practicing medicine in an increasingly complex and paradoxical environment. They must practice both standardized and personalized medicine. They are expected to manage large panels of patients while optimizing the patient experience of every encounter. The volume of required domain knowledge and knowledge-processing speed to practice continues to exponentially grow; and yet, the electronic health records they are required by regulations to utilize are not well designed for usability or clinical knowledge management. Despite a multitude of barriers, we are at the dawn of bringing the advanced computing power of deep learning architectures combined broader data sources such as socioeconomic determinants, wearables, and genomics to the front-lines of patient care.
