Answer 1

Answer: The outpatient healthcare services were earlier was not that much convenient as patient had to make a long wait to get the appointment and they have to wait for the consulting to the physician.

But now it has been much easier for the patient to get the appointment as due to the use of the Advanced technology. The use of the electronic health record has made things much easier. The patient need not to wait for longer period of time and hence they get early assessment.
