Increased communication between healthcare providers and patients, make diagnoses more accurate, more effective, and increasingly successful in preventing, Mary Jo Deering said an official with Health and Human Services to the National Academy of Sciences and Engineering. He said that the internet is just another way of contact the consumer, in this patient.
According to Deering health care providers can use the internet to make an appointment, request a recipe, and find out the benefits of health insurance. In addition, the patient was able to control the information that is issued.
A study recently conducted by his company in the U.S. found that 8 percent of Internet users have sent an e-mail to his doctor, and 45 percent will do so.
In addition, about 3 million people were seeking advice about health online. According to Deering, they may wish to have his identity is unknown, or want to seek a second opinion.
However, online healthcare communication between healthcare providers and patients is clearly different from the example above, clearly Deering. Currently, a patient will go to the doctor the same for various complaints, and then will go to a specialist if necessary.
Next for successful e-health, patients should consult with a variety of different health service providers, or the assignment of several groups that exist on the same provider.
Someday, patients and healthcare providers will send medical records and other information on the internet because it is required. But at that exchange of information online must be guaranteed safe.
Now there are some people who check health information online, but this action Deering considered impractical and not safe.
