Electronic medical data storage advantages and disadvantages.

Essay topics:

Electronic medical data storage advantages and disadvantages.

The text and the lecture offer two opposing views on pros and cons of electronic and paper-based medical data recording. While the reading passage lists three advantages for electronic storage, the professor casts doubt on the reasons which the author gave and denies electronic-based data storage's preference over paper-based data recording.
First, the article claims that electronic data recording dramatically diminishes costs. In contrast, the lecturer argues that electronic data storage saves no money at all. She explains that doctors still implement paper records to, primarily, back up the electronic data bases, and secondarily, for the sake of the legal importance of the doctors' signatures on paper documents. Thus, the record-keeping and transferring expenses are extant yet, added by the costs of handling of an electronic system.
Next, the author posits that using electronic equipments prevents medical faults. On the contrary, the professor repudiates this by stating that the doctors continue using pen and paper in order to take notes and write prescriptions, relegating the whole responsibility of transferring data from papers to computers to their assistants. Since usually these assistants are not familiar with the scientific matters enough, the medical errors will remain in their place.
Finally, the passage argues that computerized medical data storage helps research. On the other hand, the lecturer explains that based on the United States' privacy-related regulations, researches have great difficulties to access and harness these documents. According to the lecturer, patients have the legal right to block any kind of access to their own medical treatment's information, thereby preventing researchers from the data. Taking into account the arduous procedure of obtaining permissions a researcher needs to pass, makes the aid provided by the electronic system so negligible.
