What effects or potential effects do technologically based communication modalities between patients and health carer providers and between health care providers only have on health care cost

It should be less expensive.
It should be, yes, because paper and storage space would be saved.
If doctors and hospitals have to buy more technology and hire and/or train more employees just to manage these things, including making sure all the programs are secure and up to date, then the costs could be a wash ... or go up. I know of two doctors in my area alone who are quitting their practices because they can't afford all this.
