Role played by technology in medical science
Information technology is known to have played a significant role in medical
science. It has opened new avenues for decision making, communication and
information sharing. Nowadays, doctors can take consultation from experts via
Skype and thereby bringing a change in decision making. Patient care has reached
new heights with the use of information technology. EMRs are enabling health care
providers to keep records of the patients.
This in turn helps the doctor to understand the diagnosis or treatment requirement
of the patients by just going through their data. Computerised physician order entry
mechanisms have assisted physicians to find out the drug needs of the patients.
These computerised systems could provide a helping hand towards the patients by
prescribing them the correct drug dosages.
Communication was a major drawback in medical science in the past and with
information technology communication seems to have improved. The use of
technology with science seems to provide solution to the problems of so many
people.
Conclusion
This study definitely has introduced you with the path breaking developments that
are being made in the field of medical science. Health of the people has been
restored with the use of technology. More developments are knocking at the door
as the doctors and the researchers are trying to find out solutions to some diseases
that still remain non-curable.
