Managing population using the new Technologies
The capabilities for the population to be managed through new and existing technologies are available on considering various factors affecting the population in a selected region. The growth and the future of the population largely depend on health and its prosperity. The integration of technology in managing the population relies on its capability to proper health records. On considering health the future of population management is linked to its capability to utilize a fairly large amount of data. These data include the administrative and clinical data. The data is crucial in showing the trend of population growth and thus proper management through technology. The capability of the population to adopt various models is also important in ensuring that there is a proper incorporation of technology. The models include the payment models that provide vital information in this approach. The population must be attached to a large amount of data. A large amount of data on population helps in the provision of certain patterns and therefore the trend is well analyzed through technology. For instance data on patients helps in identifying the important trends in a given population (Handmaker and Jain 2).
However, it is important for the population to manage the security of the data and the privacy of the patients. The technology should be tailored to meet the needs and advance changing of the population through improvement in ensuring that it holds a large number of data sets. A large amount of population data includes demographic and location data. The technology should be flexible and easy to interact with. Generally, the technology should be tailored to capture a large amount of data, proper storage, and management of the data. In addition, it should adopt an easier method of data collection such as Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and proper dissemination of information through the internet. In conclusion for the technology to be effective, there should be a well-organized data and changes in technology to adopt the new trends in population ( Brian et al 505).
