Next week the 2020 HIMSS Global Health Conference is taking place in Orlando Florida. This year’s theme is: Be the change. So wither you are attending the conference or are just interested in what is happing in the industry, today we are rounding up a few themes and products that are being unveiled at the show, all of which will bring change to the healthcare world.
Innovaccer plans to launch its “unified patient record” model at this year’s conference. This new interface would allow organizations to collect data and pull from several of a patient’s healthcare experiences to provide a more complete view of that given patient.
This comes as the healthcare industry as a whole is making shift towards value-based care.
Vocera, who is a communications IT Vendor, plans to showcase itsnew ambient voice Smartbadge. The idea is that any caregiver wearing the Smartbadge could issue a command or instruction while remaining hands free, which is great for several departments, including surgical teams. A user would simply say “Vocera, hey Vocera, or Ok, Vocera”. The badge can make calls, create voice messages, communicate with care teams, and even respond to events and or alerts.
