MODERN TECHNOLOGY IN PATIENT CARE
Health care medical technology, patient care technology systems, patient care technology
Nowadays in the modern world many information sharing technologies have
been invented which make the communications very easy so the General physician
can discuss the information about his patients to the specialist doctors
So the patient care will be very efficient. Before these modern information
sharing technologies were introduced the physician and hospital specialists
have to wait till the patient information is transferred. Sometimes certain
important information’s like drug allergies were omitted or forgotten. The
physicians will have the records of the patients and the information’s were
not transferred fully as it was mostly verbal .Now with the modern technology
the information reaches the Specialist in the community hospitals very quickly
and without any mistakes Or errors.
The modern technology of sharing information includes computer, telephone,
fax messages and telemedicine. The computers help the information to be
transferred from the physician to the hospital with the press of a button.
Fax messages are also very fast in reaching the receiver. All records including
scan reports can be sent by fax.
Since the telemedicine is introduced the physician and the specialist of
the hospital can interact with each other sitting in their own places and
discuss about the patient sending the report of the patient to the Specialist
through computer or fax. Even scan reports can be sent through fax. The
patient can be also present with his physician and discuss with the two
doctors and with his consent the treatment can be decided. The Specialist
can explain to the patient about the pros and cons of his treatment. If
the patient agrees then he can be transferred to the Hospital.
In this way time and energy is saved. The treatment can be started immediately
the patient reaches the hospital. Without this modern facility the physician
will have to finish his work and then go to the hospital to meet him and
talk about the patient. Then the patient is transferred and then the treatment
started. This will take a long time.
All modern information technologies help the patients, private physicians
and the hospital Specialist. If the particular Specialist is not able to
diagnose the disease he can consult his colleagues again with the help of
the modern information sharing technology and then they both can decide
what to do to the patient all through telemedicine and then treatment started.
With the help of a cell phone the doctors can be contacted wherever he is
even when he is out of station and then the treatment can be started before
he comes back from his holidays .Everybody is thankful to the introduction
of the modern information sharing networks. Make the best use of the modern
technologies
