Long gone are the days of writing by hand patient health documents such as diagnoses, medication requirements, medical histories, results from medical devices or when radiographs were once generated analog images and everything was archived in a folder at the doctor’s office or the hospital.
In today’s connected world, everything can be digitalized or digitally generated. Having all of a patient’s health documents and data readily available electronically results in a faster exchange of information between doctors, specialists, and medical institutions. This enables quick and more efficient diagnosis.
