In the lecture, the professor discusses why using digital medical records to replace paper records are not as promising as presented in the reading.
To begin with, the reading passage claims that by deploying electronic medical records, the cost of storing, copying and transporting paper-based medical records can be eliminated, which is more economic. Nonetheless, the speaker refutes this by saying that although many doctors are using electronic medical records now, they still preserve the paper form of records for certain reasons. Hence, electronic medical records are not that cost-effective.
Next, contrary to the second reason in the reading that electronic medical records are less vulnerable to errors, the lecturer points out that doctors tend to use pen and paper when meeting patients and the paper records are subsequently typed into the database, during which mistakes are likely to occur due to unrecognizable hand writing and poor organization.
Finally, the instructor rules out the possibility of easier research using digital medical records. It is not the handling of data, as the speaker states, but the privacy law to protect patients that impede researchers from free access to medical records. Despite the ability to save huge amounts of records, databases are still not open to scientists.
