Monday, February 10, 2003The issues he raises about paper records are certainly valid, but I'm not so sanguine about hackers or about the potential for theft. It's a lot easier to walk away with the back copies of a practices electronic medical records than it is to walk away with a roomful of patient charts. And, government regulations about patient privacy definitely make it difficult for small practices to adopt electronic records. It makes it almost impossible, for example, for an office to use wireless technology for electronic medical records. Without the ability to use wireless technology, the systems have to rely on expensive networks. Personally, I would love to have computerized medical records. I just haven’t found a system that’s affordable, secure, and faster than the paper charts we have now. posted by Sydney on 2/10/2003 08:09:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
