Technology and Health Care

I believe that technology is defiantly a benefit towards overcoming communication barriers in health care. Technology is very efficient for people who are in different areas and would like to exchange thoughts and ideas with other health care workers. Such forms of communication can be accomplished through the use of blogs, online chat rooms, and databases. Another major communication barrier in health care is the language barrier. Through the use of technology health care workers can now translate their work into a variety of languages through the utilization of internet based sources. This is very beneficial because new information and/or procedures can be delivered to people worldwide. Therefore, technology aids everyone in overcoming communication barriers in health care.

I absolutely agree with technology overcoming communication barriers. Technology is everywhere and it is going to be there in the future. Thus, health care professionals need to adapt to these changes in technology and use it when providing care for their patients.
