Does Technology Help Health Care?

In my opinion technology in health care has advanced the way we communicate today between patients and other health care professionals. Working in the hospital I have experienced many of the benefits technology has made in health care. One thing that I really enjoy is that the internet is right at my finger tips. Anytime I need to look something up concerning one of my patient’s diagnosis or a new medication it only takes five minutes or less. The internet also has great resources for patient health teaching and websites that can help you when there is a language barrier. The Intranet is also extremely handy as messages can be posted to inform all staff of important information. You also have easy access to all of the hospitals policies and procedures.
