This is a timeline of health software, focusing on products and related organizations.

Big picture

Time period More details
1960s Medicare and Medicaid are early healthcare drivers. IT drivers are expensive mainframes and storage at the time. Because computers and storage are so large and expensive, hospitals typically share a mainframe.[1]
1970s Computers become now small enough to be installed in a single department without environmental controls. Terminals and connectivity are improved.[1]
1980s Personal computers, as well as widespread, non-traditional software applications, and networking solutions enter the market.[1]
1990s Hospitals have access to broad, distributed computing systems and robust networks at the time.[1]
2000s Cloud computers and cloud based big data analytics emerge, as well as warehousing and analytics solutions.[1]
