Technology helps to overcome communication barriers

Technology plays an important role in giving patients the best possible care in health care. Technology helps overcoming communication barriers when it is used appropriately. Technology such as telenursing helps patients to get help from nurses from home at any time. When a nurse talked to a patient about procedure or treatment plan then he or she has to use every day language to explain the procedure. The nurse has to make sure that the patient understands what is being said to him or her. This will help the patient to understand the procedure and feeling comfortable. Time is another communication barrier . Technology such as using electronic health record and electronic medication record reduce paper work which in turn help nurses to spend more time with patients. So, in my opinion, technology helps overcome communication barrier.
