Obama Administration advocates digitizing patients' records
"To
proponents, electronic health records, when thoughtfully set up and deployed,
are a modern tool to improve care and help curb costs. They hold a patient's
health history, medications, lab tests and, when connected to databases,
treatment guidelines. The potential benefits include fewer unnecessary tests,
reduced medical errors and better care so patients are less likely to require
costly treatment in hospitals."
