Computers in the Workplace

 

For this assignment I choose healthcare because I work in this industry. Computers are usually used in almost every area in the healthcare environment, from top to bottom. They used computers to complete numerous tasks such as maintaining medical and patient data, financial information, scheduling, research and studies, communication and telemedicine, surgical procedures, inventory, teleconference, asset management.

Having a solid base of computer literacy makes employees more dependable and provides a decent background for the everyday activities of healthcare professionals. It also prepares the healthcare environment to introduce and accept new technologies such as electronic health records and the electronic transfer of prescriptions. Having these abilities can positively impact the attitudes of end-users and patients.

Although Computers have created opportunities for both positive and negative activities, using a computer increased efficiency and reduced human errors. Besides updating information and streamlining medical education and health care, computers play an essential role in administration and management via regular and timely updates and the availability of the world wide web.

Teleconferencing has been available to us for quite some time, but two years ago, we realized how important it is when everyone has to be quarantined during the pandemic. Here are some of its advantages and downsides of it. Teleconferencing helps save money and facilitates team communication at a distance; it’s particularly satisfactory for simple problem solving, information exchange, and procedural tasks. On the other end, it reduces socialization and often has technical failures with equipment; it also makes it harder to create an atmosphere of group rapport

Due to the evolution of technology, ten years from now, computers will continue to impact the healthcare industry positively. Based on an article from SAP Insights, the future of computing is being shaped by transistors made from materials other than silicon. It’s being amplified by approaches that have nothing to do with transistor speed, such as deep-learning software and the ability to crowdsource excess computing power to create what amounts to distributed supercomputers. Here are some landmarks in computing’s new frontiers: Graphene-based transistors, Quantum computing, DNA data storage, Neuromorphic technology, and Optical computing.
