Impact of Technology 2
Technology continues to have a significant impact in the world today. Almost every function of daily life has become digitalized. The result has been eased operations, cost efficiencies, and saved time. In healthcare, technology has been the driving force behind several improvements. Doctors and patients alike have significantly benefited from the implementation of technology in the healthcare setting. It is vital to understand how technology affects the healthcare industry. Also, the benefits and challenges that have resulted from its implementation in the healthcare setting.
Technology has affected the evolution of the healthcare industry by making treatment better and more accessible. Health IT has opened up various avenues for research and exploration (Marcolino et al., 2018). This has allowed experts to make healthcare more effective. Technology has also had the added effect of improving care and efficiency. Through health IT, patient care has been made safer and more reliable. Today, doctors and nurses use computers to record real-time data and then update it in a client's medical history. Also, the accumulation of patient data in a central database has helped transform the quality-of-care patients receive. Finally, there is the improved control of disease and healthcare in general due to advanced software (Marcolino et al., 2018).
