Hospital Patient Information and Tracking
Abstract:
In the medical arena, there is a trend that human who rely on new technology has been increasing rapidly. In the last few decades or so, medical researchers have been using more computerized tools and are solely reply very much on high-tech lab results which are in softcopy instead of hardcopy. While the tools used for diagnoses- such as catscans, MRI’s and the myriad of other high-tech equipment have improved greatly over the years, the way of storing these results into a medical record has not changed much.
In fact, the medical system is using antiquated methods of paper based record, which results in inefficiency or missing record. The record keeping system practice in the past simply does not allow for the high-tech equipment to be put in used at their greatest potential.
Hence by having a Hospital Patient Information and tracking system, all important medical record will be put in place to prevent important document from being lost and will be neatly organized. With this system in placed, it can directly help the hospital to manage the patient’s medical record.
