,A.1. Issue Or Trend
For this task, I've selected an emerging technology issue or trend found
under Domain III: informatics, analytics, and data use. The application of
artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies and machine learning (ML)
have become increasingly prevalent in healthcare informatics and is a newer
problem that must be investigated. AI and ML technology applications can
potentially transform the health information management (HIM) field by
enhancing decision-making procedures, data analytics, and patient outcomes.
(Davenport & Kalakota, 2019)
A.2. Why The Issue Or Trend Was Chosen
I have chosen artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies and
machine learning (ML) in healthcare informatics as my research subjects
because they can potentially transform the healthcare industry and greatly
enhance data analytics, decision-making processes, and patient outcomes. AI
and ML technologies in the healthcare industry can potentially improve
diagnostic accuracy, evidence-based treatment recommendations, and patient
care outcomes. In healthcare informatics, we can effectively implement AI and
ML to support data-driven healthcare practices and contribute by
comprehending and studying their consequences, difficulties, and
opportunities. (Davenport & Kalakota, 2019)
A.3. Professional Sources
As I researched artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies and
, machine learning (ML) in healthcare informatics, it became evident to me
that these advancements are not just
