Information Technology Helping Health Care

I believe that technology is helping to overcome barriers in health care. Instantaneously information can be communicated about patients for all health care workers. We can be sure that we are giving the best care possible with a lot of information from the Internet. Innovations like call centres that serve as information hubs for concerned patients without them having to enter a hospital reduces wait times and gives access to more people. Vital information from charts about patients can be communicated electronically in order to save time. Test results can be sent electronically to avoid long paper trails and mailing times. Technology is definitely helping health care workers to overcome boundaries, because vital time is saved to treat patients.
