Communication Technology in Healthcare
Communication technologies enhance care coordination through real-time information sharing, reduced medical errors, collaborative treatment planning, and accessibility for remote team members (Yoshimoto et al., 2022).
EHR in Care Coordination
EHRs provide comprehensive patient information, enable real-time updates, improve team communication through shared notes, and support collective care decisions. They contain health history, diagnoses, medications, allergies, lab results, and radiology images (Robertson et al., 2022).
