The future of precision medicine is still full of "infinite possibilities"

The realization of genomics and personalized medicine is closer than many people think, but the current level of development of medical systems and electronic health records has not yet met the requirements. When policymakers and innovators are struggling to catch up, they must be clear about what they need to know. The author has compiled a new perspective on precision medicine in the medical and health industry in the United States.

Given the rapid advancement and development of technology in the medical industry , once advanced concepts will become obsolete or become a natural thing in a few years. Knowledge, understanding and ability are constantly improving, and if supportive devices fail to keep pace, it will hinder the development of the medical industry. If no measures are taken, the seriousness of the situation will increase.

Some people believe that such a situation proves that the rapid development of precision medicine is constantly breaking the stagnation of the development of electronic health records, and medical research is advancing the exploration of genomics. When the National Health Information Technology Association launched the interoperability proposal in 2004, the development of electronic health records also faced the same situation.

During that period, the IT team of the medical organization worked tirelessly to achieve interoperability of the electronic health record system and the entire industry. If the relationship between science and equipment creates an inevitable bottleneck in the development of the medical industry, what is the reason?

Advances in precision medicine and limitations of medical facilities

“It depends on how you think about it,” says Nephi Walton, MD, a genomics researcher and biomedical informatician at the University of Washington's St. Louis School of Medicine. “One problem I found was that when the eHealth file introduced new features, these new features did not necessarily integrate well with the entire data structure and would result in duplicate data structures for many eHealth files. We often seem to Make up for the loopholes and innovate on the basis of previous results, instead of abandoning the previous results and re-engineering in the right way."

In the recent San Francisco HIMSS Big Data and Medical Analysis Forum, Walton highlighted the gap between advances in precision medicine and limitations in medical facilities.

“For a variety of reasons, IT in the medical industry is slightly behind the development of other industries,” he said. “One reason is that in most cases, medical IT is the core of cost rather than the core of revenue generation, so the resources obtained are less."

In general, medical institutions have been negatively evaluated for their limitations since they started using electronic health records. Dave Bennett, deputy manager of product and strategy at Orion Health, Inc., in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Bennett said: "The electronic health record has experienced a painful failure because of the lack of patient-centered quality care and satisfactory doctors and reduced costs. According to a recent study, electronic health records have become users of medical institutions. The primary reason for satisfaction. According to the clinical end users of the electronic health record, they spent too much time managing trivial tasks, which reduced the time for face-to-face communication with patients and reduced the quality of the documents. "The electronic health record does not provide value to medical institutions and patients. "Despite the limitations, the design of electronic health records is not the main reason.

“This is not a problem with the technology itself – it is a question of finding new ways to provide data-driven and healthcare technology availability.” He said, “We need to consider patients to redesign their electronic health records and complete the electronic health records. Integration into the medical system provides the technical foundation. The current electronic health record can do a good job of billing and recording, but its design is not real-time and operability. It does not support the real-time interactive ecosystem, and lacks to optimize retail, A data-driven approach to financial and high-tech industry systems."

Strengthen weak links, service processes need to be digitized

“There is no technical difference between medical research and electronic health records, but there are technical differences in how to apply electronic health records in medical systems,” said Jon Elwell, CEO of Boise, Idaho.

One of the biggest difficulties in medical IT is the wide range of medical institutions, facilities and systems that are widely distributed on the road to future e-health. He said, "The technology of an advanced medical system is comparable to the technological advancement of the most immature medical institutions or network facilities."

For example, he said that an advanced, trustworthy medical institution might use electronic health records in each department and use private messages to exchange information with patients and others on the network. However, he said that some people are still used to using fax communication. "This will push advanced systems into the dark ages."

In the medical industry, healthcare organizations “must work harder to come up with solutions that prevent early user users from reaching the lowest industry standards,” says Elwell. “These new solutions should use a simple approach to digitize service processes. This will help to improve those less advanced medical institutions and facilities, especially interoperability."
