Assignment for ICT class

Is technology improving or hindering communication in healthcare?

In my opinion technology is improving communications in healthcare. It helps to eliminate wait time in communications between healthcare providers. For example doctors can fax or email nurses prescriptions and directions for patients care. Also technology helps nurses to communicate with each other in different departments very quickly. It also all healthcare providers to have access to all information quickly and efficiently which provides patients with safer care. Also in remote areas communication via technology may be the only access to more critical care instructions for nurses. Technology had created improves communication methods and less wait times for important information.
