However, the scope of what is included and the impact created is truly enormous.&nbsp; Most experts agree that mobile technology will be one of the single most dominant game changers in healthcare for the next decade.&nbsp; Few facts:<br> &nbsp; 1. Approximately 65% of doctors use an iPhone or other <span class=SpellE>SmartPhones</span><br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; today; 80% + will use a <span class=SpellE>SmartPhone</span> by 2012.<br> &nbsp; 2. Use of Tablet PCs/<span class=SpellE>iPads</span>&nbsp;is growing rapidly in clinical settings.<br> &nbsp; 3. RFID's popularity is on the rise. The list goes on.<br> <br> It is also true that making money on mobile applications&nbsp;is a challenge for developers and providers though sustainable business models are finally emerging. Unlike other industries (i.e., music, video, games, etc.), users may not pay for downloading a healthcare application; however, usage-based payment models (or pay for service) are considered acceptable. Example: <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Health and Wellness Monitoring tools </span></strong>combine fitness-related equipment to track pulse, calories, running speed, heart rate or use sensor-devices to monitor weight control and eye testing. Target groups for these products are fitness and health-conscious users aged mainly between 35 and 45 years.&nbsp; Another example is chronic condition monitoring tool that&nbsp;tracks conditions like heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and, these generate revenue from selling a sensor-device with a free application.<br> &nbsp;For more on trends on mobile technology visit<br> <a href="http://medofficepro.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fdd3808e57ff08796a520b999&amp;id=c47f6a86cf&amp;e=2ab24cd2fc">http://www.healthdatamanagement.com/channels/<br> wireless_mobile.html</a>&nbsp;<br> <br> </span><strong><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";color:mediumblue'>ICD-10 Deadlines</span></strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black'><br> All of a sudden, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is putting pressure on the healthcare industry to comply with the Jan 1, 2012 deadline for switching to the HIPAA 5010 transaction set and the Oct. 1 2013 deadline for the changeover to the ICD-10 diagnostic code set.&nbsp; CMS has presented detailed guidelines with defined goals, etc.&nbsp; Under the ICD-10 plan, CMS&nbsp;believes&nbsp;that by early next year, healthcare systems will begin training their staffs and be ready to start internal testing.&nbsp;Users are supposed to start external testing in Fall 2012.
