One thing we all should remember is many patients, like health care professionals to communicate with them and not typing or entering data while you obtain history without any eye contact. We all know that most of the diseases are healed to a great extent by reassuarence, touch of healing and a good patient doctor relationship. It is very important to build a good relationship with our patients and should not get overwhelmed by the fast moving technology in the medical field.
