As with almost every industry, ICT applications have an
enormous impact on different industries. From social media to smart phones and
automatic check-ins, Information and Communication Technology effects even the
smallest areas of the industry. ICT applications are evolving at an ever
quicker pace and industries have to adapt quickly to keep ahead of the curve,
or else risk falling behind
the competition.
Over the years ICT has affected hospitals industries, it
improved the efficiency of work, it made the work quicker and more accurate and
even easier to use. It helped to diagnose many diseases that were hard to
treat, example using endoscopes to get access to the patient's digestive system,
X-ray's to see broken bones, etc.
Many important documents can be saved easily and retried
later without typing those details again, since everything is saved in a
database.
With
the development of ICT and hospitals, the patients can see if the doctor is
available at a certain time, and book appointments online. This decreases the
pressure on the workers and even reduce the mistakes and errors.
Even
in hospitals, sometimes they are using biometric devices for security for
example iris recognition, fingerprints recognition and signature recognition.
ICT
has a great effect on all industries not only hospitals, and year by year it is
developing and improving the facilities of different types of industries in
different aspects.
