In this commentary, the authors explore the transformative impact of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and electronic health record (EHR) optimization, on the field of health information (HI). They also examine the implications of these technologies across three critical sectors: healthcare organizations, HI vendors, and academia. In healthcare organizations, these innovations are reshaping job roles, workflows, and required skill sets, creating both opportunities and challenges for HI professionals. HI vendors are driving workforce changes by adopting automation and AI-driven solutions to enhance service delivery. In academia, HI education is evolving to integrate emerging technologies into curricula, ensuring that students are equipped to meet the growing demands of the industry. The authors emphasize the necessity of collaboration among healthcare organizations, vendors, and academia to develop a workforce with the skills needed to succeed in a technology-driven landscape. They also provide recommendations for addressing skill gaps, fostering innovation, and preparing the HI workforce to navigate the challenges ahead.
在本评论中，作者探讨了人工智能（AI）、机器学习和电子健康记录（EHR）优化等新兴技术对健康信息（HI）领域的变革性影响。他们还研究了这些技术在医疗保健组织、HI供应商和学术界这三个关键领域的影响。在医疗保健组织中，这些创新正在重塑工作角色、工作流程和所需技能，给HI专业人员带来了机遇和挑战。HI供应商通过采用自动化和AI驱动的解决方案来推动劳动力变革，以提高服务质量。在学术界，HI教育正在不断发展，将新兴技术融入课程，确保学生有能力满足该行业日益增长的需求。作者强调医疗保健组织、供应商和学术界之间合作的必要性，以培养一支具备在技术驱动环境中取得成功所需技能的劳动力队伍。他们还提供了应对技能差距、促进创新以及让HI劳动力做好准备应对未来挑战的建议。
