Health care is the linchpin of a developed society. The modern concept of health care is like a jigsaw consisting of a large number of pieces. It is impossible to see the whole health care picture without fitting all pieces together. Improving safety, efficiency and quality brings productivity to separate healthcare processes and practices. Technology can help us see a picture of the health care sector, but sometimes we cannot see the wood for the trees. Technology can help the players of the healthcare game (i.e. patients, physicians, nurses, managers, etc.) interact more efficiently.
The general trend in developing countries is to improve the quality of health care, while minimizing the public spending. So, Healthcare has turned towards IT and its applications, as these can bring efficiency and help to healthcare professionals. For e.g. A nanochip will search your blood for cancer – five years before they grow uncontrollably.
Due to the vulnerability of treatment processes, it is lucrative to use IT applications for preventing errors and mistakes that humans can easily make. A large benefit of using IT in different operations is that it can improve the patient safety and nursing efficiency and therefore decrease the always notable healthcare expenditure.
Your doctors may not be certain about what is going on inside your body; but technology will.
