QUESTION 1 One of the trends in the medical field is to have doctors diagnose patients, and have supporting staff complete patient procedures, documentation and other clerical tasks. How might this trend positively and/or negatively affect patient care?

Respuesta :

If you diagnosis a patient wrong there are many things that could happen like prescibing the wrong medication to the patient, 

Answer:

It can be positive because it speeds up the treatment and all the necessary documentation. It may be negative because some information may be lost between one professional and another.

Explanation:

When you need medical treatment for a problem, it will probably be attended to by many different professionals. Although the doctor is responsible for diagnosing your problem, this is probably the only contact you will have with this professional, and all necessary treatment and documentation will be performed by different professionals. The advantage of this is that you all care and treatment will be streamlined and you will be free of your problem in a shorter period of time, on the other hand, some information may be lost from one professional to another which will make it difficult to attend and solving your problems.
