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
It is a debate about whether medical records should collect electronically. Although the text finds it beneficial to create an electrical database, the woman finds it useless for some reasons. Both sides' reasons are discussed in the following paragraphs.
First, However, Reading states using electronic records can save money because less paper gets used; the woman thinks it is not certain. She assumes there will not be any savings because doctors do not throw papers out, and they will continue their traditional way so they can have a backup for emergencies. In that case, the paper store cost will remain.
Furthermore, She believes the medical errors will continue. There are some errors caused by doctors' lousy handwriting or improper transcription of data that can be detrimental to patients' health. Although the reading states that these errors will eliminate due to the use of electronic medical records, the woman disagrees. She believes the doctors will continue to use paper to take notes, and the staff will enter the information written on the paper by doctors. So, lousy handwriting will still be an issue.
At last, the reading implied that electronic records could be helpful for researchers. They can use and access an extensive database and draw out any information from any place, and it will be much easier to gain data. The woman thinks it is still going to be difficult to access information because of privacy laws. The information will be kept safe if the patients want to, and There is a strict and difficult process to reach data. Researchers should get a lot of permissions, including patients' permission which is not even granted, and patients can block their access to data.
