Advantages and the uses of Computer Technologies in the Healthcare setting

1.Paper records requires more time and need more storage space.
Using computer technologies:
Less time spent
Less storage space needed
Able to find patients’ records easily

2.When doctors order the lab test and view result, we do not need to go and get the result from the laboratory.
Just type in the data info of the patients.
Able to track the result from the laboratory easily
Save time.

3.To pay the hospitalization bill
We use the billing software and capture the bill for the length of stay.

4.For the follow up appointments
Use the computer technologies:
To update the appointment for that patient.
Inform and to remind the doctors about the patient’s appointment


We'll be going on to PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) in our next post, which is the last topic of this entire blog. Do come back for more!
