Internet of things (IOT) and bring your own device (BYOD) strategies have enhanced patient cordinated care activities. Six Sigma tools coupled with enhanced analytic competencies have ensured quantifiable sucess within the regulatory work enviornment. Actionable alerts, visual cues and verification trails has brought in cost and quality efficiency on board.

The significant surge in the data variables available has facilitated research and education programs. (189) Healthcare Informatics is not about IT but is about process, people and skill set.
