Medical banking represents a dynamic paradigm shift between two very large industries - banking and healthcare. The focal point of this activity is helping healthcare providers to better manage their business operations. Facilitated by HIMSS Medical Banking Project, medical banking offers an area that is ripe for technological and social innovation in healthcare.
Electronic business transformation in healthcare is rapidly evolving in a number of ways. This includes 5010 migration, ICD10 transformation, convergence of financial and clinical information to yield new decision-making tools, convergence of banking and claims processing systems that yield simplified ways to process medical claims and more. One area on the horizon is using online banking, used by 70 million US households, to speed adoption of personal healthcare records - linking this area into America's drive to implement electronic healthcare records.
HIMSS facilitates cross-industry dialogue and research, defines strategic direction, isolates emerging models and defines potential demonstration projects that can substantively address the underlying business issues in this vital area of convergence. Our programs, like the Medical Banking Institute and HIMSS G7, foster critical thinking between leaders in healthcare, banking and other industries that creates a picture of the healthcare financial network of the future.
