Technology can play a significant role in improving care coordination by providing tools for better communication, information sharing, and care planning. Some ways technology can help include:
Electronic Health Records (EHRs): EHRs allow for real-time sharing of patient information among healthcare providers, reducing the risk of errors and improving the continuity of care. Telehealth: Telehealth services enable remote consultations and follow-ups, making it easier to coordinate care for patients who have difficulty accessing in-person services. Care Coordination Software: Specialized software can help manage care plans, track patient progress, and facilitate communication among the care team. Mobile Health Apps: Mobile applications can assist patients in managing their own health, keeping track of medications, and scheduling appointments, all of which contribute to better coordinated care.
