Modern patient-care related technologies such as online medical records (EHRs) and health portals, telemedicine, and wearable devices have the potential to put patients in greater control of their health than ever before. They improve access to information, make getting care more convenient and less expensive, and improve health outcomes.
Given all of that, you’d expect that patients would be clamoring for providers to make these technologies available, and many certainly are. But others can be slower to accept the new, increasingly digital healthcare landscape. The benefits of increased use of patient-care related technologies for practices are substantial, making slow patient adoption a frustrating problem for some providers.
