Digital Medical Records

Soon, the image of a doctor jotting down notes in a patient's chart may be replaced with a doctor entering those same notes in a mini laptop. It is estimated that within five years, 70 to 80 percent of hospitals (and 50 to 60 percent of doctors) will be using digital medical records that can be accessed online. There are several advantages to this shift from paper to electronic.

One major advantage is that a doctor can access a patient's history very quickly online. With the treatment history at her fingertips, the doctor can evaluate the situation rapidly, without waiting for charts to be fetched. When digital medical records have been recorded through a transcription company, patients can feel secure in the knowledge that the doctor's notes are error-free and accurate.

Digital medical records also offer a higher level of efficiency in creating treatment plans. For example, if a test has already been conducted, there is less chance it will be unnecessarily repeated with easy-to-access digital records available. Drug combinations that are harmful can also be avoided. Worldwide Dictation was the first medical transcription company to offer digital dictation.

Many critics cite security as a concern; however, certain precautions can eliminate this potential problem.
