The reading and the lecture are about the pros and cons of electronic medical record systems. The author of the reading states a few benefits that the system may bring about while the lecture challenges the claims made by the author.
To begin with, the article mentions that electronic medical records system is of great help to reduce costs simply by minimizing the storage space. The specific argument is doubted by the lecturer. She claims that even if electronic medical record system is put into use, the tradition version of paper records will still be held as backup in case of emergency so the electronic system is actually of no help in reducing cost of storage.
Secondly, the writer suggests that electronic medical records are likely to reduce medical errors made by poor handwriting or transcription mistake. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that it is always the staff who has to transcript the handwriting of doctors into computer system but not the doctor who writes a prescription. Therefore, the lecturer is of the opinion the electronic system will not be beneficial in preventing medical errors.
Lastly, the author posits that electronic medical records makes the medical data more available in comparison to paper records to those who are conducting a research. Moreover, the article states that the online database will also help filter out the needed information for users. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that it is almost impossible to access the patient's medical data due to the strict privacy laws in the United States. In addition, the access of data has to been through complicated procedures and also approved by patient himself. Last but not least, she says that patients are most likely to block the use of their medical data outside medical purpose.
