It Generates New Jobs

Since technology is constantly changing, there need to be people who build the systems and are constantly making updates in order to get the best outcome.  This not only leads to new jobs overall, but in the healthcare industry as well, since there will need to be people who are specifically trained in this area.

 

Better Research

There are so many different illnesses, and even more medications to go along with them, so sometimes it’s hard for even the best experts to keep up with.  The reason being is that oftentimes, different illnesses can have very similar symptoms, and if you’re not a specialist in that area, you may not recognize it.  When a physician uses healthcare technology systems, they tell the software what symptoms the patient has, and the system will offer them immediate feedback based on research.

 

Better Diagnosis’

Because of the immediate feedback that the system offers physicians, this means that they are able to better diagnose and treat their patients.  This is great for both physicians and patients, as it means that the patient can recover faster, and they won’t waste any resources (such as medications) on the wrong diagnosis.

 

Improved Clinical Workflow

Clinical workflow is determined by the success of the delivery of clinical services.  Aside from better diagnosis’, one of the ways to improve workflow is by improving communication among healthcare providers.  Since they will all have access to the same online documents, their communication will improve and less mistakes will be made.

CAPD, along with other healthcare technology software systems, are changing the healthcare industry.  Since both patients and physicians can benefit from this, all medical organizations should utilize it.
