In the United States, medical information about patients traditionally has been recorded and stored on paper forms. However, there are efforts to persuade doctors to adopt electronic medical record systems in which information about patients is stored in electronic databases rather than on paper. It is argued that storing patients' medical records in electronic databases has several advantages over traditional paper-based record keeping.
The main idea of both the reading and the lecture is about the substitution of electronic medical databases over traditional paper-based documents. With this in mind, the passage believes that the electronic version of medical record-keeping is more beneficial and effective than the traditional one and provides three advantages of it. The lecturer, on the other hand, categorically refutes all the three episodes of evidence mentioned in the passage, citing that all of the benefits of the electronic versions are uncertain.
First, both the text and the talk discuss the idea of cost reduction. In this line of thought, the author mentions that taking advantage of electronic records can decrease the cost and contribute to saving more money. Conversely, the lecturer points out that it is unlikely if the electronic version reduces the cost. He adds that doctors do not throw the paper-based records away and they keep them as an emergency backup. The signatures on the paper-based records of patients are necessary for legal use. Thus, money should be paid for storing paper-based documents.
Second, both the passage and the lecture put forth the idea of eliminating errors. In this vein, the author states that factors leading to making medical errors will be reduced with the use of electronic records. However, the lecturer refutes the idea, believing that such factors will still be apparent even with the use of electronic versions. He further adds that most doctors use both the paper-based method and the electronic version to save the patient medical background. Accordingly, doctors will use pen and paper in order to write the prescription and afterwards the office staff of the doctors will enter the information on the prescription into the electronic version to be used later. Under such a circumstance, it is highly probable that the office staff misinterpret the information in the prescription which in turn can lead to a medical error.
Third, both the reading and the listening material discuss the idea of using electronic information in aiding research. While the author maintains that the use of the electronic versions will facilitate medical research, the lecturer opposes this notion. He asserts that even the electronic version is difficult to access due to the privacy law. Most of the patients want their medical background to be private to themselves and if researchers want to have access to this information, they should follow strict rules and policies in order to ask permission. Moreover, it is not guaranteed that patients allow the researchers to use those data or not and they might even block the use of their medical background for any permission.
