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.

The reading and the lecture are both about electonic medical databases. The reading states that electronic database have several advantages rather than traditional paper-based record keeping. However, the lecturer says that all of the author's claims are uncertain and refutes each of the author's claims.

First of all, the article states that Electronic records can decline the cost of copying, faxing or transporting paper records from one place to another. in this article said that recording data helps for the doctor to easily access, duplicated and transfer them. This argument is challenged by the lecturer. He says that doctor needed emegency back of dada and it is not possible for the doctor to access any information without any special permission. Moreover, the lctuer says that for authenticity needed doctor's signaturer and needed strong cost for obtain any records. thus, this argument does not bring any wter.

Second of all, electronic records could minimize the possibility of human error. In addition, uses of the electronic record, prevented serious consiquences for a patent that would happen any handmade report. In contrast, the lecturer position is that still happen some error because office staff interpreat between doctor's report and computer records. He elaborates on this point that doctors record patent history and other symptoms and some notes by hand and then patent collected any added computer record. Hence, misinterpret still happen because doctor poor writing notes staff collect.

Finally, the reading suggests that electronic medical record helps for many research location to access. Furthermore, the reading posits that manuaaly thousands of patients records impossible, thus able easily to collect records as electrocin record. The lecturer, however, rebuts this claim that the researcher must be needed to follow privacy law to research any record. Moreover, the lecturer says that in Usa not only doctors to privatize their patents record also needed some patent permission if anyone trying to access.
