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.
Both the arrticle and the lecture discuss the advantages of patient's electronical medical recored system in U.S. rather than pervious paper system. While the reading passage enumerate three valuble pluses for this system, the lecturer refutes these benefits and argues each of the author's reason.
First, the lecture claims that electronic record reduces the cost of keeping the health ealated documents of patients. It asserts that instead of the huge space which paper records need to store, electronic records do not need any except virtually. The professor refutes this idea by adding this notion that almost all doctors who adopted the new electronic system, they keep the paper record system too especially for emergency situations. He believes that it won't decrease the cost of coping or transfering too.
Second, the article atates that prenenting errors is another important benefits of the new electroninc record system, since doctors will use the standard eligilble font of computer instead of handwriting method. In the other hand, the professor contends this idea by explainng that doctors are using pen and paper while examining of patiants and writing prescription. Their assistance will fill the electronic records then. He infers that in this situation electronic resord system does not guaraantee the error free recordig approach.
Third, the reading passage avers that the new electronic system is a big help for medical research; it provides a large amount of numerous patient's data which can't be gathered in the paper record system such easily. Conversly, the lecturer refutes this and says that medical resarch won't benefits neseccessarily because in the U.S. privacy law protect the patienty's information to share with third parties easily. Researcher should follow the strict law and get the permission of several organization and patients.
