Communication Barriers in Health Care

Technological advancement has the power to change the health care field. I think that the introduction of technology into the health care field has improved communication barriers. Nurses can now communicate in a more efficient manner through the introduction of computer based documentation as opposed to paper based documentation. This introduction has led to less human error and improvements in the care of client’s. The computer based documentation allows nurses to appear more organized, which then provides their client’s with a piece of mind. Also, the introduction of computer based documentation leads to less repetition of questions to client’s, which can sometimes cause the client to become frustrated or annoyed.
