What Are the Challenges of Using Online Platforms?
Despite their benefits, online platforms come with certain challenges:
Privacy and Security: Ensuring the confidentiality of patient information is crucial, and data breaches can have serious consequences. Digital Literacy: Both patients and healthcare providers need to be comfortable using digital tools, which can be a barrier for some. Quality of Information: Not all online information is accurate or reliable, and patients may encounter misinformation. Technical Issues: Connectivity problems or software glitches can disrupt telemedicine consultations and access to records.
