In your work setting, or from the examples in a real setting,
which future trend(s) are likely to have the largest effect on patient care and related information systems? Select one of the topics for example, Health in Chapter 15. Use the three levels of change to describe how your selected area of informatics might evolve over the next several years.
Use
Box 36.4
to access and explore a futures research methodology that was not discussed in this chapter. Describe the methodology and how it could be used in health informatics.
Compare and contrast the trends of EHR directions and personal healthcare informatics.
Where do they overlap and where do they differ?
