Technology is helping when it comes overcoming communication barriers in health care. Patient health records help health team members to share information online anytime. The information is always updated. Health care team members can access patient’s latest records. The updated patient records are especially important in an emergency situation. Online teaching method is another way to help communication between patients and health team members. Health team members can offer patients the useful online resources for health teaching. Moreover, communication technology plays an important role in rural or remote health care. Physicians can provide patients with visual or audio diagnoses online. Patients do not have to travel a long way to seek medical care. Technology really enhances the communication in health care.
