New developments in technology are helping overcome communication barriers in health care. With new computer systems in place, nurses have quicker access to patient clear and concise patient charts, which decreases the probability of misleading information. Hearing aids collect sounds, make them louder, and then transfer them to the ear canal giving the user the ability to better hearing therefore improved communication with other individuals. In the hospital setting this has a major impact with the older population in improving their hearing, and allows for better treatment. Overall as technology continues to develop and be implemented in the hospitals I believe that communication barriers will be on the decline.
