E-Health Benefits

Healthcare needs the use of modern technology not only because of the ever-increasing costs that could be reduced by streamlining many processes, but also because of the growing need to inform the public and to increase efficiency in the doctors' offices, clinics, and other health facilities. Consider, for example, the electronic patient health card, which contains important encrypted patient information, findings, examination results, and laboratory test results. It helps medical professionals avoid unnecessary duplication of examinations, multiple repetitions of laboratory tests, and adverse drug interactions. Electronic health records have a lot of potential. Such databases, for example, enable GPs, specialists, dentists, and pharmacies to retrieve necessary patient information without delay and to forward prescriptions form the attending physician directly to the pharmacy, so that the medication can then be sent directly to the patient. Technology provides a variety of opportunities for direct doctor patient communication. Patients may be equipped with devices that transmit their vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, etc.) to the attending physician, a nursing home physician, or other monitoring medical personnel, and vice versa, the doctor may directly give the patient important information about a medication, insulin administration, or something else. Patients can receive reminders about their tablets or insulin injections. In acute life threatening conditions, technology can alert the doctor and thus save lives. An example of this is home monitoring. Much of what today sounds like science fiction has been technically solved long ago. Email exchange with your doctor, health care related communities, information exchange about diseases and physician evaluations, applications for self-diagnosis are all part of the new efficient health care.
