Mobile Phone Short Messages for Health Professionals
Journal Title: Science Insights - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Information communication technology has made great progress in past decades, whereas how much could the health professionals benefit from these techniques? Some reports concerned that mobile phone short messages can help health caregivers more focused on their work through reminding them what need do next, and positive results were presented showing that such “beep message” improves patients overall outcomes and satisfaction. Regarding this usage, several drawbacks need mentioned before it was recommended as routine reminder. Detraction from normal work, over-weighed dependence on this kind of remind, and uniform and non-individualized messages all will make the healthcare system lose flexibility and true efficacy.
