Today’s post come from some tweets:
This is kind of sad to consider. RT @StoltenbergCon: Cloud, mobile among top #EHR trends to watch in 2016 https://t.co/bYxLnapIPj #hitsm

And here’s a great response from CIO David Chou:
@ehrandhit @StoltenbergCon Why are we still talking about #cloud and #mobile in healthcare? We should be there already

I find it really interesting that he added mobile. Most hospitals realize that cloud has to be part of their IT strategy. Every hospital has some sort of cloud solution that they support. However, in the hospital EHR world, is there a viable cloud EHR option for hospitals?
On the other hand, mobile EHR is really lacking. Certainly there is a lot of mobile use in healthcare, but not for most of the enterprise applications.
I really hope that the tweet at the top is wrong. Healthcare needs to be doing a lot more than just cloud and mobile. Those should just be features and not trends. Here’s the unfortunate reality though:
@dchou1107 @StoltenbergCon Probably because many parts of healthcare still haven't implemented them? Sad, but true.
