Abstract

There are good points and not so good points of switching from paper to digital. I think more would agree that the good outweighs the bad however.

Keywords: Paper, digital, and errors.

They’ve had malfunctions, lagging in their systems, and just general problems learning the technology which slows down on the amount of patients they can see. Most facilities have backup files for such occasions. For the most part though digital is the better way to keep records at our fingertips.
