Content: a less invasive and more comfortable experience for the patient; and the ability to do smaller and more precise interventions ( Newell, n.d ). In addition, robots can be used as adjunct care providers for some physical and mental health care provision. More research is needed on comparative effectiveness of robotics and human care providers. Many healthcare providers have expressed concern about the lack of emotion in robots, suggesting that this is the element that will never replace human caregivers. Biometrics
Biometrics increase the security of confidential healthcare information and eliminate the costs of managing lost passwords. The measurement of biometric markers may occur in less than ideal situations in healthcare settings and in a rapidly changing workforce, cost may become an issue. Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR)
Healthcare providers have access to critical patient information from multiple providers, literally 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, allowing for better coordinated care. Implementation costs, getting computers to talk to each other and debates about who “owns” the data in the EHR continue to challenge its required implementation. Computerized Physician/Provider Order;
