The use of an effective online portal could serve all of those functions and in a way that allows for a lot less work and waiting for everyone involved including the patient as well as the professionals that can spend less time working on notifications, billing functions and so forth that can instead be done online and can be done much quicker than through manual and non-online means.
The target audience for this new and updated technology would literally be any patient that wishes to take advantage of it. In all likelihood, it will be the younger and more tech-savvy patients that will prefer and that will make use of it. At the same time, patients that are older and/or simply do not prefer to use technology solutions will probably eschew the technology/portal option. That is perfectly fine and the more traditional options of manual notification through phone calls and follow-up appointment scan still be done for them. However, for those that do wish to use the online version of the customer service that will be offered, it will be a time- and aggravation-saver...
Rather than either party having to make use of the postal service and so forth to pay bills, the entire process including the notification of the bill and the bill payment itself can all occur through online means. Patients can pay through bank account or credit card. A nominal convenience fee will be necessary for the latter so as to avoid credit card fees being assessed against what the company will receive but most patients are willing to pay those fees (Furr, 2015).

One main way to deal with this is to make sure that an email address and/or online account is not share between multiple patients when the patients sign up. This can be handled through a simple question that confirms whether their email account is shared or not (Landro, 2015).

As mentioned earlier, the desired outcome of nursing care is comfort and there are many articles in which the researchers have talked about the needs of the patients and the things that alter the comfort of the patients. Kolcaba suggested that the cancer patients who are terminally ill can benefit from comfort care as it pays attention to the perspective and needs of the patients. Through such kind of
ambulatory care facilities are now performing the majority of surgeries in the United States today, this is most likely the result of a combination of free market will and government influence. Callard (2012) notes that one major trend is that more complex and high-end procedures are being moved to an outpatient setting. This trend in particular has its roots in the power of the market.

This researcher rejects the existence of online communities because computer mediated group discussions cannot possibly meet this definition. Weinreich's view is that anyone with even a basic knowledge of sociology understands that information exchange in no way constitutes a community.
