One of the most important technologies which is in use in healthcare industry is electronic health record (EHR). As suggested by Jagannatha and Yu, electronic health record can be defined as digital mode of keeping record of the data of the patient. It consists of wide range of data of the patients which include medical history, pathology report, medication, current treatment, past allergies, family history. Since it runs real time which allows it to input the live information accessible to every authorized individual. It has many other features like prediction of treatment, alarming of medication, quantity of medicine needs to be administered, and prediction of progress of treatment. Nowadays, electronic health record use cloud-based system which allowed authorized users to access information from any part of the world using any mode like mobile, laptop or computer. As suggested by Mennemeyer et al., despite technology is very innovative, yet people have mixed perception towards its usage in the hospital setting. This technology raised the question whether it is boon for the healthcare setting or not. Position I The healthcare professionals who support the use of electronic health record, consider the device helpful in providing high quality care to the patients. It helps in prediction of the evidence-based treatment which can be given to the patients. Use of the device in practice by healthcare professional to learn about the treatment can be helpful in better outcome of the treatment. Google research scientist Alvin Rajkomar and its associates’ 2018 article “Scalable and accurate deep learning with electronic health records” describe that electronic health record can store large set of data and accurately scaled it to develop the model for the prediction of the information. This prediction model is helpful in providing deep in sight knowledge about on various health related issues which can be helpful in improving the quality of treatment given to the patients. As noted by Birkhead, Klompas, and Shah, electronic health record predicts the quantity of medicine which need to be administered to the patient. This is because, the quantity of medicine administered to the patient is not general to all. Quantity depend upon the disease and its spread. For example, some patient suffering from thyroid disease need 250 mg of its hormonal medicine, others may need 500 mg. Administering accurate amount of medicine as per the need of the better can result in improved condition of the body. Position II On contrary, the patients whose personal information is recorded on electronic health record are feared for the breach of the privacy of their personal data. Doctor at All India Institute of Medical Science, Fouzia F. Ozair and its associates’ 2015 article “Ethical issues in electronic health records: A general overview” published in NCBI raised many ethical issues related to the use of electronic health record. The major issue associated with the use is that this device consists of the all the medical history, personal information and family background of the patient, along with the ongoing treatment they are taking in the hospital setting. This information is easily accessible to all the professionals who are authorised to use the device. This makes the patients vulnerable as their data can be misused by any authorised personals. They can release or revealed the personal data without consent of the patient. Another threat of recording the data of patients on this device is that this device use cloud-based system to the storage of data. This means data of all the patients are available on internet. This can be problematic as any good hacker can easily retrieved the personal information of the patient all over the world and can use this information for their personal benefit. Position III On contrary, some have moderate views on the use of the electronic health record in healthcare industry. The careful use of the electronic health record can be useful in reducing the medication errors which occur due to treatment of the patients. These errors can endanger the life of the patients. It may be fatal to them. There is no scope of conducting even a minor mistake in healthcare setting, being human, making mistake is part of our default structure. Electronic health record can be helpful in reducing the misunderstanding generated between interdepartmental professionals while transferring of patients. Another issue which is common is medication error, when nurses failed to administered accurate medicine to the patient due to misunderstanding of reading of prescription can be handled using electronic health record. On contrary, unsupervised use of device for the prediction of treatment can be a risky step. Professor at department of genetics and genomic science, Icahn school, Riccardo Miotto and its associates’ 2016 article “Deep Patient: An Unsupervised Representation to Predict the Future of Patients from the Electronic Health Records” describe that complete dependency on the device’s prediction about the treatment can be fatal for the patient. It is necessary to conduct thorough research on the patient’s treatment and this device’s prediction must be used as secondary source for the treatment. Another issue is if healthcare professionals make mistakes in recording the data of the patient, then it can put the life of patient at risk. Thus, this device must be use carefully. Personal position I believe that the use of electronic health record carefully can be helpful in providing treatment for the patient. This is 21st century where all the industries are using innovative technologies to improve the quality and quantity at work. This device has shown remarkable results in delivering quality and quantity in healthcare industry. There should not be any resistance among professionals in implementing the use of device in their practice. It has been observed that if device is used carefully and only by authorized personnel, then risk of breached of privacy is minimum. Apart from that, electronic health record is regularly improvising by updating software and introduction of new features and security level.
