Overcoming Communications Barriers in Health Care

I believe that technology is helping to overcome the communication barriers in health care. The advances in technology over the past years have given health professionals the ability to communicate with each other whether they are at the same location or half way around the world. The advances in technology have also given patients the ability to communicate with others. These may be patients who have lost their ability to communicate and by being able to use technology they are now able to voice what they are feeling. Technology has also provided less likelihood of miscommunication. If a health professional has any issues, they have the ability to double check electronic versions without having to track down the assigned personnel to a particular patient.
