For routine communication, care providers still mainly rely on paper documents and paper mail. Evidence exists, however, that this communication can be improved, both by a better content of information exchange and by a more timely deliverance of this information. At present, several alternatives to paper-based communication are available, such as the Fax, the Smart Card, electronic mail, and electronic data interchange. This paper describes existing communication problems, and examines the current state of development and research aimed at improving this communication using electronic communication techniques that are gradually replacing paper-based communication. Applicability and shortcomings of these new techniques are also discussed.
在日常交流中，医护人员仍主要依赖纸质文件和纸质邮件。然而，有证据表明，通过改善信息交换内容和更及时地传递信息，这种交流方式是可以改进的。目前，有几种替代纸质交流的方式，如传真、智能卡、电子邮件和电子数据交换。本文描述了现有的交流问题，并探讨了旨在利用正逐渐取代纸质交流的电子通信技术改善这种交流的发展现状和研究情况。还讨论了这些新技术的适用性和缺点。
