From my exploration on telecommunication careers I learned that career paths that employ a vast range of information-transmitting technologies such as line installers, customer service representatives, computer programmers and engineers as well as many other work fields including healthcare can offer a wide range of beneficial opportunities to both workers in these fields and the companies that employ them. Telecommunications by electronic and electrical means over a significant distance especially in the health care setting can be very useful in aspects of providing timelier healthcare to patients. Distributive technology could provide solutions to improve clinical, fiscal and operational outcomes through medical imaging with PACS (picture
