IT Drives Patient Education

Posted May 02 2011 8:07am
" In an earlier column , I complained that IT spends a lot of time providing electronic tools for clinicians--electronic health records (EHRs), computerized physician ordering systems (CPOS), etc.--but not enough time developing tools to improve patient education.

I was wrong. Digging deeper into this area has convinced me that there are all sorts of practical technology-based resources to help patients understand their treatment and how to comply with their doctors' advice. Computer-generated questionnaires , medication resolution programs, and sophisticated videos are making a difference in patient care. "

India can be a market leader in this space !
