Digitization Of Medical Records In Healthcare 20
To increase the efficiency of doctors to quickly diagnose a patient is the main goal in the digitization of healthcare. Healthcare 2.0 is linking hospitals to automatically have medical records of every patient. This connectivity will allow doctors to make better diagnoses without having to rely on the patient to constantly transfer their paperwork from hospital to hospital. This Healthcare 2.0 concept will be based loosely over the systems that are already in place throughout the world. This controlled access to medical records with Healthcare 2.0 will also reduce the risk of patients losing their records or forgetting certain visits to emergency rooms that may hold the key for diagnosis. There are concerns about the confidentiality and security of this system that are being addressed by the updating of systems and security protocols to make it difficult for unauthorized access to patient files.
