5G in Healthcare

    Fifth generation cellular network technology is also known as 5G (HHS, 2020).  Emergence of 5G technologies, IT services and applications for the healthcare industry will have significant impacts for patients and healthcare providers (Stracuzzi, 2020).   An Ericsson 5G network is an open platform for innovation and can bring new experiences to smart phones and many other devices (Ericsson, 2020). A 5G network can leverage many technologies that can benefit patients, doctors and other healthcare providers (Stracuzzi, 2020).  The healthcare IT industry is constantly evolving and innovating for new ways that can transform services and applications for providers and patients (Stracuzzi, 2020).  A sociotechnical system plan incorporates social and technical systems for an organization that acknowledges collaboration of people, society, and technical aspects in an organization’s structure and processes (Revenaugh, 2020).  The plan will incorporate factors that include technical, economic, social, and global factors to innovate the 5G technology for the healthcare industry.
