How can technology aid in reducing communication failures?
Technology can play a significant role in enhancing communication in pediatrics:
1. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): EHRs ensure that all healthcare providers have access to the same comprehensive information about the child's health. 2. Telemedicine: Virtual consultations can provide parents with easier access to healthcare providers, facilitating better communication and follow-up care. 3. Patient portals: These platforms allow parents to access their child's health information, communicate with providers, and manage appointments online.
