New discoveries in IT have enabled hospitals and physicians to respond to changing regulatory dynamics while improving the quality of healthcare services provided to the patients. With the advent of cutting edge technologies, it has become possible for skilled healthcare professionals to operate with fewer errors resulting in an efficient medical care.
Here are some reasons why incorporating IT solutions in healthcare is beneficial:
- Information Access: IT solutions allow the consumers to upload and store their medical information online. The online storage can be easily managed by the consumers while allowing them to have complete control over the information. Consumers can grant permissions to allow their healthcare providers have access to read and edit their medical information, as required. Healthcare providers can incorporate these solutions in their online platform to allow their consumers to store their medical information in an easy and secure way.
- Single Platform: IT solutions provide consumers a single platform to share their medical information with all the healthcare providers involved in their treatment. Different healthcare professionals can review the medical information together and provide a suitable treatment while considering all the contributing factors. A simple example being, suppose a consumer is being treated for three medical conditions by three different doctors. The doctors will prescribe three individual drugs. However, there are chances that the drugs may interfere with each other resulting in reduced efficiency or a negative reaction. This situation is resolved by IT solutions that allow the consumer to share medical details with all the healthcare providers on a single platform. Thus, a doctor can see the drugs prescribed by other doctors and suggest an effective treatment.
- Medical Research: Research plays an important role in improving healthcare services. Medical research requires access to a large amount of medical information for studying patterns, symptoms and effect of available treatments. IT solutions have made it possible by allowing medical researchers to have an access to medical information such as patient data across the globe.
- Telemedicine: For ages, a major problem faced by healthcare has been its limitation to reach out to patients in remote areas. Additionally, some patients may require immediate healthcare attention and may not be able to commute to a hospital or physician’s office. IT has bridged this gap by providing the facility of telemedicine. This technology allows the healthcare providers to connect with their patients over internet. Healthcare providers can consult the patients in real-time via different communication channels and ensure timely assistance.
