Those who use EMRs' e-mail function agree that it "lowered communication barriers"
and "improved the quality of relationship" by increasing communication between
office visits and eliminating phone tag. Also, because clinicians do not have to run
down the hall for test results, or leave the room to pull up medical records, they are
spending more face-to-face time with their clients. The appointment time can go
uninterrupted because the doctor/nurse has everything they need operate smoothly at
the click of a button.

In addition, online communication between multiple doctors provides a wider
amount of information that puts the patient at greater ease. They are better able to
trust the diagnosis and the conclusion of the doctor because he has received
numerous second opinions. The communication barrier created by the medical
language can also be torn down through the ready availability of information for the
patient provided by computers. While the clinician can verbally explain to their
patients how something works, they can also pull information from educational
resources and other records in other to aid them in this process. Computers help to
better communication in the medical field in a variety of ways. Without computers,
communication would be less frequent, less personable, and more perplexing.

Storing Information

In making sure that a patient gets affective and appropriate health care, their
medical history must be kept on record for constant referral. Information such as the
health status of the patient, as well as the health status/history of his relatives, is
necessary in aiding the doctor to give him the correct diagnosis. Medications being
prescribed and medications being taking by the patient at the present can also
important pieces of information stored by computers. Additionally, the medical bill,
meal times, bath times, and medication times are all kept track of by computers, acting
as somewhat of an electronic planner.

Computers are the number one choice for storing information in the medical field,
due to the enormous amount of memory they have. A medical device data system is a
system that offers the electronic stowing and recovery of medical data such as: patient
medical history, research, prescriptions, healthcare provider info, and diagnostic test
results. Through this system, communication in the medical field can be done much
more effectively.

Surgical Procedures

Computer-Assisted Surgical Procedures are also referred to as Robotic Surgical
Systems. More complex and involved surgeries not only utilize computers, but also
rely on them in order to give faster and more precise products in any given medical
procedure. Computers are used for tasks such as viewing internal organs, examining
them, and moving surgical utensils around accurately in small incisions. Most
