Medicine & Technology

Physicians who are interested in obtaining such technology from donors, such as hospital, should carefully examine whether the proposed arrangement can be structured within appropriate e-Prescribing and/or e-Health Records safe harbor and exception.

By taking one step at a time, you can narrow down the list of potential vendors, learn all you can about the functionality and features of each system, and then select the one that is right for your practice.

Providing information only scratches the surface of what you can do with your web site.

Computer prices are rock bottom nowadays. But does this mean you should simply run out to the nearest electronics or office store and snatch up the cheapest one available?

Because of the relatively low cost, willingness of the vendors to customize the product, and increased demands on physicians, speech recognition software has become one of the fastest growing sectors in the entire health care market.

When it comes to information security, there is no silver bullet. Planning and preparation are required.

Technology is now available which, by applying up-to-date clinical data to disease management guidelines, can provide practitioners with easy-to-use, best evidenced-based, recommended treatment plans for direct patient use.

Physicians, nurses and administrators will not only be able to communicate with a larger field of colleagues, but do so using advanced features not available with traditional phone lines and much lower long-distance bills.

The success of a new system implementation is partially dependent on the success of the technical deployment, but equally important is the staff's willingness and preparedness for the change.

By using web technologies, we may see a decrease in office visits and telephone calls because patients are able to find basic information through the doctor’s interactive text, graphics, audio and video web service.
