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.

I completely agree with your comment on technology in the health care setting. It is definitely broadening our knowledge base and eliminating errors.
I really enjoy the progress that has been made in technology, but I worry, as technology is only as accurate as the one who made it...a person. No one is perfect and therefore technology cannot be either. I hope people do not become too reliant on technology, they must be prepared to do things the old way if the technology crashes. Which it does.
I agree completely with your comment. Technology has made health care delivery more efficient and accurate. It has also reduced workloads for nurses.
I agree communication technology has help improved the way care is delivered. Technology such as video conferencing has enabled clients to receive care at home while being monitored from a hospital or clinic of the health care team.
