Tecnology in Healthcare

Technology is helping communication barriers in healthcare. With all the new technologies, nurses, doctors, patients, and other care providers can communicate effectively and efficiently. Nurses are able to use PDAs to receive information from other colleagues about patient’s health records. Doctors can send electronic medication orders to pharmacies. This way the nurses do not have to try and figure out the doctor’s orders. In addition, technology is useful for staff information. For example, in the workplaces, healthcare providers have the option of online education and information on work seminars. Furthermore, nurses use intranet in hospital to retrieve accurate information about diseases.
