Alex D'souzaManaging Editoreditor@healthcaretechoutlook.comWhile delivering healthcare, effective communication is of the utmost importance. Because in its absence, the quality of healthcare is impaired, impacting costs and patient outcomes. There are multiple components to effective communication in a healthcare setting: healthcare literacy, cultural competency, and language barrier. If any one of these components is compromised, effective communication is once again hindered. To improve healthcare literacy within a clinical setting, healthcare providers must assess baseline patient literacy, provide multi-format patient education, and ensure that all members of healthcare staff provide quality communication to the patient. That being said, to overcome cultural and linguistic barriers, healthcare providers must perform a baseline assessment of the local community's needs and determine typical patient demographics. After that, to improve communication with the patients, hospitals can hire staff that are representative of target demographics. Along with these strategies, healthcare professionals are increasingly embracing telemedicine, which involves using a variety of internet-connected technologies to serve patients remotely. Using state-of-the-art communication tools make patient record sharing and cross-departmental communication much more effortless.In this edition of Healthcare Tech Outlook, we bring you the story of some of the most prominent organizations specializing in healthcare communication and are significant drivers of key trends and strategies.
