Abstract
A computer-based patient record is a computerized way of storing patient information within a database. This method of storage allows the medical records of all patients in the database to be shared through a controlled network of medical institutions. The records, which are in digital format, require to be embedded to protect the patient’s information. It is thus inferred that, technology has facilitated many changes in the globe. The changes have affected many industries, including the health sector. Technology facilitates the quality of healthcare and enables reduction in errors affecting the institutions revenue. This paper is going to evaluate this system in terms of …show more content…
