The whitepaper, “Empowering Care Coordination with Technology: Opportunities to Transform Pediatric Care Delivery,” describes how technology in four areas can improve pediatric care:

 

 

1. Care coordination. Technology can help all members of the care team, including the patient and family, communicate more easily.

 

2. Care management. Secure transmission of biometric and lab-specific data can aid clinical decision-making.

 

3. Education. Technology can improve understanding of and compliance with treatment programs.

 

4. Policy environment. Incentives for technology adoption can encourage a team-based approach to care.
