My comment regarding Electronic Communication is that its a wonderful idea. Currently at my job now we are able to access the hospitals system to view the accounts of patient we are both servicing. This allows us to see there chart and why they were admitted into the hospital and what was done and so on. Its just so nice to be able to see the information our self rather then calling the hospital and speaking with the patients RN or case manager. The electronic communication really has made the process getting the durable medical equipment to the patient much faster.

I think it is terrific too. I think the big thing to remember is that information is extremely confidential and needs to be treated with respect. If you are taking a medication and someone is not careful with your prescription, information it could be shared with the wrong person. Also, technology is only as good as the people who use it. There needs to be someone checking the information to make sure it is correct.

I truly believe that it will save lives and help control costs in the future.

I love when the doctor just faxes my prescription to the pharmacy, it’s so convenient. Then, you don’t have to go to the pharmacy twice or sit there while you wait to get it filled. That way, someone doesn’t lose their slip on the way there and there is a file on the computer for proof of what you’re supposed to be getting instead of just having a piece of paper that can be easily misplaced.
