    The document discusses how the internet has impacted clinical practice by enabling easy access and sharing of timely and accurate health information. It describes how healthcare organizations now use web-based applications to store large amounts of patient data and clinical information, allowing physicians to easily retrieve information regardless of location.

    “USING INTERNET FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE”


    The internet today has become indispensable. The various areas that the
    internet has impacted on include the way friends and family communicate, facilitation
    of trade of goods and services, made research on different topics easy, and it has
    acted as a means through which people can entertain themselves through. These
    impacts have also been observed in the healthcare industry whereby it has
    strengthened the practices of physicians.

    In order for health care to be effective, it should have ready access to


    information that is timely and accurate. Healthcare does not add any value to anybody
    if it cannot be shared, located, and applied. Information sharing adds value to people
    and it therefore receives significant appreciation from patients and physicians. It is
    because of this that many health care organizations are taking advantage of the
    advancing technology to enable them provide high-value patient services.

    The Internet has been observed to be very effective in enabling people to


    access and share web-based information quickly and easily. Different health
    organizations are adopting various web-based software applications, which have
    proved to be very cost effective. In addition, these applications have the capacity to
    store large amounts of data which easy is to access. These applications have made it
    possible for physicians to easily retrieve the information that they need regardless of
    their location. Security over the internet has also advanced such that it is now very
    easy to protect data effectively and hence prevent it from being comprised.

    It is also possible for multiple physicians to collaboratively review a patient’s


    condition and hence provide the patient with a diagnosis that is more certain. With
    the medical services being availed over the internet, it has become possible for
    medical practitioners to keep up-to-date patient records and clinical information.

    Therefore, it is true that most healthcare organizations that are making use of
    the internet to manage their information have received significant attention because
    they are capable of delivering better quality services to their patients. However, there
    is a lot of healthcare information that is misleading inexperienced patients who
    regularly use the internet to gather information about their health. Most physicians
    should therefore make it their duty to assist their patients in finding reliable
    information from the Internet and how they can interpret it.
