The use of mobile technology in the healthcare industry has exploded in the last ten years. Mobile health or mHealth, provides an entire new aspect of the relationship between patients and their doctors and other medical providers.

Doctors can monitor a patient’s condition more frequently, allowing them to make better and more informed decisions and diagnoses.
Mhealth has reached the poorest of communities (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.). More than 9 million patients email their physician in 2009 (Digital Health Care, 2010), because patients’ busy lifestyles do not allow time for an office visit for non-emergent health conditions. . In recent years, the expansion of mobile health (mhealth) technologies, including health text messaging, mobile phone applications, remote monitoring, and portable sensors, have changed the way health care is being delivered in the U.S. and globally (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.).

Telemedicine will continue to grow as payers, providers, and patients all start to realize the mutual benefits that can be

Health care professionals have described how information technology is changing the way health care operates, and it has become the modern way of staying in touch with patients who have chronic conditions (Muhammad, Allen, Ali, Bonacina, & Adams, 2014).

Trinity Community is challenged with two current healthcare trends. The first trend is related to Medicare and how doctors are paid on Medicare claims. Medicare’s primary coverage group is for people older than 65 years of age.

Year after year, lawmakers have been trying to fix a part of the Medicare law that would cut payments to doctors. Since the late 1980’s, the cuts would continue to grow annually and eventually exceed a 20% pay cut.
