But, if you do use a lot of computers within your work, you may want to start thinking about interoperability a bit more. Not only can it help you to make your process a little more simple, but you could also find that you see a reduction in errors too. Plus, you may find that sharing information between different machines makes your job a lot easier.

Digital diagnosis

Medical decision making can be tough. It’s not always easy to know what decision to make for the best. Machines are always good at working out probability and facts, meaning the decision-making process can be more streamlined.
