Health care professional interacts with patient

Reference no: EM133722500

Question

A patient in a health care facility, such as a hospital, may visit or have contact with many types of health care workers who work in different departments. For example, they may be admitted after coming into the emergency department, and then go to radiology for a procedure, receive medication by a pharmacy tech, and be scheduled for surgery. No matter what type of health care professional interacts with the patient, each one must use some type of information system to document what happens with the patient in their department. As an emergency service coordinator, you will see all of these digital interactions between different departments and the patients. Why is it important to have a firm understanding of all information systems regardless of department you work in? Provide details. As different as one information system is from another, how do they work together to improve the patient care process?
