Pretty interesting look into 2014. Also amazing that a mobile app (Flappy Bird) made the list for the first time. There’s two healthcare terms: Ebola and ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. I wondered what this list would look like for healthcare IT. So, I decide to take a guess at what I think would be the trending healthcare IT terms of 2014:
ICD-10 Delay
EHR Penalties
Wearables
Meaningful Use Stage 2
Epic
Obamacare
FHIR
Cerner-Siemens
HIPAA Breaches
Patient Engagement
What do you think of the list? Would you order it differently? Are there terms you think should be on the list?
Somewhere on your list I’m sure “regulatory induced alcoholism” would appear. 🙂
Mike,
I’m sure there’s an ICD-10 code for that.
