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. Reducing Costs 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. Preventing Errors 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. Aiding Research 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.
In this set of materials, the reading and the lecture both discus the possibility of keeping the records on paper or electronic system. While the reading states that there are efforts to convinced doctors to store their patients information electronically because of many advantages from this procedure, the lecture refutes this by mention that these advantages are uncertainly.
First to begin with, the reading states that electronic medical records cheaper than paper based one and paper storage records include a huge space in contrast to electronic databases. Moreover, its easy to access from any place and cheaper in transfer in opposite to paper databases which needs money to transfer and make copies. The lecture argues this information by mention that electronic databases is not make any money saving as the doctors don't through out the paper records of their patients for emergency back up and because contain signatures for legal records and will still storage these paper records even if use computers for their databases.
Second, the reading mention that electronic way will prevent errors, unreadable handwriting, and unorganized papers which in turn, will effect patients health because electronic database will minimize human errors. The lecture refutes these information as mention that poor handwriting and mistakes will not be prevented as the doctors still in use of pen and papers to take in medical formation from there patients during examination and their offices put on these info in computers. In addition if doctors write with a poor hand writings and the error will be typed by their offices and keeps as records so, this will not prevent errors from being records when doing an electronic database.
Lastly the reading says that its easy for researchers to get access to information if electronically recorded but the lecture states that its difficult to get access for medical information because the researchers need for permission from hospitals and patients to give them this access besides, many patients not accept to do this.
