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.
The reading claims that recording patient's data electronic in computers has some benefits rather than keeping them in paper format.However, the lecturer finds all the ideas dubious and presents some evidence to refute them all and prove that advantages are uncertain for this form of storing the information.
The author argues that this method will help to reduce cost and save money in using memory of computers instead of papers for keeping data and even we need less space and we can access any information about illnesses and patients easily.Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that doctors should keep their data on paper to have a backup from them for urgent times so it would not have effects on decreasing use of paper and their diagnostics are attribute to their information that have written before.
Furthermore, the reading passage holds the view that use of medical records by electronic tools will decrease human errors.On the contrary, the professor underlines the fact that maintaining information about sicks person will not eliminate human errors because it is imperative for doctors to take note about their patients and their mood and medicine that they consume so they have them in their office to use later and if they have poor hand writing .Indeed human mistakes are inevitable in medical scientists.
Finally, the reading asserts that researchers will have an information bank for their searches that have been collected by doctors so they are comfortable to have electronic record data rather than papers in offices.In contrast, the speaker dismisses this issue due to the fact that information of people are secure on doctors so they will block them and do not let every body to check them and keep them in a private location and for researching by universities students should have permitted letter to allow them to see so this way of recording data will not necessarily improve searching levels.
