Top Healthcare Trends of 2015 (Infographic)
"The only thing constant in life is change," said Heraclitus, circa 500 B.C., and the year 2015 - and the healthcare industry - are no exception.
With the second quarter of 2015 underway, more healthcare transition is on the horizon for the remainder of 2015. The ICD-10 deadline is Oct. 1, and by the end of the year, more healthcare providers will need to optimize their EHRs to comply with Stage 2 Meaningful Use requirements. The mobile app market and telehealth care service offerings will explode. The number of patients seeking care is going up, while the number of full-time physicians is going down.
