Summary
Healthcare is changing with new technologies. Students learn how computers, the Internet and electronic communication are used in healthcare today and in the future.
Electronic Communication
The Internet and computers are used for many things, including finding health information. Patients use search engines to look up medical information before and after doctor visits. Internet pharmacies are growing in popularity.
Electronic Medical Records
Electronic medical records (EMR) are becoming more common. EMR software combines multiple areas including pharmacy, laboratory, finance, and clinical notes. These systems are continually upgraded and changed making them faster and more portable.
Telemedicine
Telemedicine covers real-time service that occurs when a patient and physician are physically separated. Telemedicine is expanding, especially in psychology. The Army provides soldiers with telemedicine psychologist service through the Army OneSource office.
Future Impact
There is a lack of personnel who have the knowledge and the skills to work, maintain and repair these technologies. The future of healthcare will include electronic communication tools.
