When there is less understanding of things, people feel restrained when they have a new system, and many feel reluctant to accept it. Therefore, here comes the second major potential barrier, and that is the difference in languages of the same society. Where people from different states have come as immigrants and speak Spanish and etc.
This can be our most challenging part, as the minorities have different origins and languages. Somehow, these may be affecting the smooth functioning of the telemedicine infrastructure but these are not the permanent solutions and can be sorted out by the implementation of effective policies and strategies.
Stakeholder communication can be a potential way to strategies for breaking the barriers. Since the community is having communication and literacy problems that will make them reluctant to utilize the newly implemented system. (Neville, 2018) Here the engagement in the community and their involvement with the interaction can make a way for solving these problems.
By developing effective communication strategies, these barriers of the community will be solved, including the policies for interdisciplinary collaborative teams that will be working in the care delivery department (Serper & Volk, 2018). Not only the community but the healthcare service providers also have to get through the training where they will learn how to actually ensure the care and medical services for patients.
All stakeholders including nurses (healthcare service providers), community physicians are equally responsible for the implementation of this system. And for all of them to realize this responsibility training should be provided more often.
