Is technology helping or hindering when it comes to overcoming communication barriers in healthcare?

With the current advancements in technology, the health care system has benefitted immensely in several different ways. Most particularly, it has helped with breaking down communication barriers between health care providers. Advancements such as e-mail and the internet have made it easier and faster to access information and get in contact with fellow professionals. As well, developments in the workplace such as electronic health records make it more efficient to provide care to patients and make it less likely that a mistake will be made while administering this care. The help that technology has provided will continue to advance and the health care system will continue to see the benefits of these incredible improvements.
