How Can Technology Assist in Reducing Communication Errors?
Technological advancements offer several tools to reduce communication errors:
1. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): EHRs provide a centralized platform for documenting and sharing patient information. 2. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS): These systems offer real-time assistance to healthcare providers, ensuring they have access to the most current and accurate information. 3. Telehealth: Remote consultations can help maintain clear communication, especially in settings with limited physical access to healthcare providers. 4. Secure Messaging Apps: These apps facilitate instant and secure communication among healthcare team members.
