The reading passage and the lecture are both about using electronic medical record systems instead of traditional paper-based record systems. While the author of the passage argues that storing patients' medical records electronically is beneficial and has some advantages, the professor disputes this claim. She states that all the advantages discussed in the reading are very uncertain. The lecturer casts doubt on the points made in the passage by providing three controversial reasons.
In the passage, the author begins by saying that paper records require a remarkable amount of storage, and storing patients' medical records electronically can save some money since, in this way, it is not required to spend money on storing and transferring medical records. However, the professor disagrees with this idea. She asserts that stockpiling medical records electronically does not cause any savings since doctors will not through patients' paper records away. They still have to keep them as a backup. Consequently, Stocking these paper records still costs money.
Furthermore, according to the reading passage, electronic medical records will reduce the chance of medical errors. Traditionally, doctors have to write down information by hand, and their improper handwriting may cause some errors in some cases. On the other hand, the professor points out that electronic medical records cannot eliminate this issue because doctors, even those using the electronic method, still use paper and pen to write prescriptions. Their staff has the duty of entering those data into the database, so doctors' poor handwriting may still bring about some errors if the staff cannot read the information properly.
Finally, the author believes that researchers can have access to patients' medical records if they are stored electronically. Not surprisingly, the professor refutes this assertion by contending that having access to patients' medical information is so difficult since the United States have some strict regulation about patients' private information. Researchers cannot have access to patients' medical data unless they get so many permissions, including patients' permissions, which is a very strict procedure.
All in all, both the lecturer and the author hold conflicting views on storing patients' medical records electronically.
