What Role Does Technology Play in Direct Communication?
Technology can enhance direct communication in several ways:
1. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): EHRs facilitate the accurate and timely sharing of patient information among healthcare providers. 2. Telehealth: Telehealth platforms enable direct communication between patients and providers, especially in remote areas. 3. Patient Portals: These allow patients to access their health information, communicate with providers, and manage appointments. 4. Mobile Apps: Various apps can assist in medication management, appointment reminders, and health education, fostering better communication.
