Technology has drastically changed patient care over the years, because of this emerging technology, incredible advancements have been made in medicine. It has improved communication between providers, reduced medical errors and has refined access to health information. Electronic health records are just one example of the impact technology has on patient care. These records reduce the need for repeat or unnecessary testing and allow data to be accessed and shared quickly and efficiently. Electronic health records provide one organized space for all of the patient's information to be stored and accessed. These records can help to reduce medical malpractice and the possibility for mistakes. The healthcare providers are able to quickly access the updated patients medications, allergies, surgical history, labs, & prior imaging without having to sort through piles of papers. Having the patient's chart on an electronic format keeps this personal information protected and secured. This important information can assist medical professionals when making a diagnosis, save time, and keep the patient safe in the future. Improved communication amongst healthcare practitioners can also result from these electronic records; speaking securely with another provider can be done fast and effortlessly. Quick and efficient result delivery is achieved by providing patients with simple access to their medical records through apps such as MyChart, which also improves their overall healthcare experience. Having this crucial knowledge at their disposal reduces their anxiety and worry and gives them a sense of empowerment and control over their health. The patients feel included in their healthcare journey. These kinds of apps also facilitate efficient communication between the patient and the physician. Patients who have any questions or concerns can message their clinician directly. Healthcare providers can use technology to improve their practice and provide more effective care in a number of ways, including minimally invasive procedures, advanced imaging, and wearable devices. Surgeons can now execute intricate surgeries with more accuracy thanks to robots, resulting in smaller incisions, quicker healing periods, and a lower risk of infection. Internal exams and procedures can be performed with little intrusion because of methods like endoscopy, which lessen patient trauma and hasten recovery. Fitness trackers, glucose monitors, heart devices, and smartwatches are examples of technology that continuously monitor vital signs, exercise levels, and other health indicators. This enables early intervention in the event of an abnormality. Technology like ultrasound, MRI, and CT provide advanced and detailed images to help diagnose health conditions in their early stages. As a senior student enrolled in an ultrasound program, I can personally attest to the tremendous benefit of technology in the medical field. Without these advancements in technology, I would not be able to do my job. Every day at my clinical rotations I get to help diagnose patients by combining the ultrasound machine's amazing technology with the patients blood results, labs and electronic health records. I am still amazed that we get to use our knowledge of the intricate anatomy of the human body and use technology to see into the body. Sonography is only one example of how technology is revolutionizing healthcare. Its effects on patient care are complex and include improved patient communication, early identification, individualized treatment regimens, real-time monitoring, increased safety, accessibility, affordability, and continued contributions to medical research. Taken as a whole, these technological developments are improving patient outcomes by improving treatment precision, speeding up recovery, eliminating error, and improving quality of care. In the future we will continue to see more creative solutions that completely change the healthcare industry as technology develops. I can not wait to see first hand the amazing benefits of technology in the medical field.
