Communication Technology

Hi All,
I strongly believe that technology is very helpful in overcoming communication barriers between people in health care. For example, nurses often have to work with people who do not know English enough to communicate properly their needs. Electronic Vocabularies are very beneficial for these patients. Usage of this kind devises can help patients find proper word to explain their feelings, signs, and symptoms. Moreover, they even do not have to say this word; they can show a devise’s screen to the nurse and she/he will read it. This kind of devises reduces significantly a risk of misunderstanding between nurses and patients. I believe that in the health care field understanding between a patient and a health care provider is extremely important. I cannot, but agree that use of communication technology devises will benefit a patient’s health.

Best regards,
Katya
