Freedom and information when it comes to health-care is an important part of that.
Author's Points:
This article is rife with quotes and commentary from those who are involved in the story, so the author seems to put his opinion in the backseat. It is easy to tell that he approves of the new digital dashboards, and even goes so far as to make an assumption about what that would mean in the medical world. "This advanced automated technology...would create an infrastructure hat could eventually build a connected health network," he says.

Anybody who has ever dealt with the nightmares that seem to come along with paper records can attest to the fact that a digital dashboard like this only stands to improve the way that we care for our patients today. The days of losing records, misfiling and having to take endless amounts of time to retrieve information can be a thing of the past once digital dashboards like this are implemented across the board. Professionals can look through the digital dashboard and see the care that was already implemented, care needed, and even look up a plan for treatment and input instructions for the patient and the patient's caregivers. Taking the focus off of the paperwork can help put the focus back on the patients.
