TPO46-Integrated-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.
First, the use of electronic records can help reduce costs by saving money on storing and transferring medical records. While paper records require a significant amount of storage space, electronic medical records take up virtually no space. Moreover, by having patients' records computerized in databases, doctors can easily access the records from almost anywhere and can easily duplicate and transfer them when necessary. This costs much less than copying, faxing, or transporting paper records from one location to another.
Second, electronic medical records are crucial to reducing the chances of medical errors. Illegible handwriting, improper transcription of data, and nonstandard organization of paper records have caused errors that in some cases have had serious consequences for the patients' health. In contrast, electronic records are associated with standardization of forms and legible computer fonts and thus minimize the possibility of human error.
Third, electronic medical records can greatly aid medical research by making it possible to gather large amounts of data from patient records. It is often impractical, impossible, or prohibitively expensive to manually go through thousands of patients’ paper records housed in doctors' offices. However, with the existence of electronic medical records, it would be simple to draw out the needed information from the medical databases because the databases are already formatted for data collection. Once in the electronic system, the records could be accessed from any research location.
The reading passage states that adopting medical record systems by doctors, instead of previous paper forms, is beneficial in many ways. However, the professor in the lecture casts doubt on the ideas presented in the reading and finds them uncertain.
First, considering the reading the storing and transfering costs have been reduced regarded to keeping record computerized, with no need to copy or fax the information, and also the records are accessible from everywhere. In contrast, the professor in the lecture contradicts the idea and further explains that most of the doctors are yet keeping paper records and backups to avoid any loss in data. Therefore, there is not any significiant cost reduction in storing costs.
Second, the reading claims that the the possibility of occuring medical errors, such as not inproper handwriting, have been decreased since the forms have been standardized using the computers. On the contrary, the profesor in the lecture refutes the information presented in the reading and makes the point that most doctors are still using pen and paper for writing information and other staff are in charge of entering the information to the computer so the possibility of errors yet exists.
Third, the author in the reading mentions that huge medical databases can be created and used for research purposes which is more convenient than previous way of collecting information by going to doctor's offices and asking fot their paper records. On the other hand, the speaker contradicts the idea and adds that accessing the patients medical records need many strict and complicated procedures of obtaining permision due to the strict privacy laws. It needs permission from each patient to access their medical infromation.
