TPO-46 - Integrated Writing Task 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 informa

The lecture points out the futility of reasons suggested in the reading article about the advantages of using electronic method of recording medical records over paper based method.

First, the reading claims that, the using electronic method to record patience data will help to reduce costs as storing papers will need more space. Also, it is easier to copy, transfer records from anywhere. However, the lecture argues that, there will be no significant cost saving if doctors switched from paper to electronic method. Usually doctors save paper records in case of emergency and for legal purposes.

In addition, the reading makes an argument that, there will be less chances of errors by using electronic method of recording. Bad handwriting, improper entry of information by human errors will be minimum. The lecture counters this point by stating, doctors still use papers during checkups and provide handwritten prescriptions. Office staff usually does the data entry in the computers and can make errors while entering the data.

Lastly, the reading passage argues that, retrieving large volume of data from anywhere through electronic system for research purposes is easier than retrieving it manually. The lecture refutes this claim by pointing out, there are strict privacy laws associated with medical records. Researchers need to get the permissions to access the data. No matter what form of data storage the doctors' use, they have to follow laws before releasing records. Moreover, the professor adds, patients can block records if they want to maintain their privacy.

In conclusion, the lecture disagrees with the reading article and states that electronic method of records storage does not provide advantages over paper based method.
