Technology has made everyday life more efficient and easier, especially in the professional area. In addition to new opportunities for training, development, and learning, technology is a great ally for those who need to increase productivity at work.
Countless solutions are born every year. They bring greater security and control in professional activities, with technology operating in favor of productivity. Added to this is the mobility provided by the devices, using and abusing the cloud service. All of this ends up making technology more accessible and simple to use.
Among the various tools available, that work from remote storage systems and social interactivity applications. What few know, however, is that specific tools have been created. And they are not only aimed at increasing productivity. Its focus is to bring a quality of life never before imagined to doctors, for example.
Do medical professionals and technology combine?
According to Research on the Use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Brazil, released by the Center for Studies on Information and Communication Technologies (Cetic), 91% of hospitals have access to the internet. However, its use is still restricted to basic operational routines such as patient registration.
There is another notable aspect of the research. Hospitals that use technology as a work tool gain not only productivity. They also gain – and a lot – in knowledge distribution and minimizing errors.
Examples of using high technology to increase productivity in the medical field
Imagine an operating room, with a screen equipped with technology. This screen allows doctors to command panel controls with hand gestures only. Fiction? No more. With this technology, it is even possible to check the entire surgical grid and patient information. All this without leaving the operating table.
Through specific software, emergency doctors and specialists discuss procedures and exams, indicate medication and surgeries and even close diagnosis of brain death through telemedicine.
The technology even allows routine clinical assessments. Cardiac auscultation, for example, has the heartbeat “shared” by the network. And everything can be viewed on the tablet or smartphone.
Technologies to increase productivity and prevent health risks for professionals
Doctors specialized in Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging are one of the biggest beneficiaries of technology. Teleradiology allows remote diagnosis by digitally sending images. This simply removes the professional who issues the reports from the room where the radiology equipment is.
The benefit is not just being away from ionizing rays. The professional gains in productivity, when receiving images of very high resolution directly on his tablet or notebook.
