With electronic medical records on the rise, there are many products coming on the market to make the transition from paper to electronic records easier and more efficient. Go to http://healthcare.scantron.com/patientrecord/paros/htm for information about a system that allows health care providers and patients quick access to an EMR for patient histories.

When the patient completes the form, the pen is slid into a computer docking station and the captured information is instantly transferred to the EMR system. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of such a system. Search the Internet for information on the electronic POMR. Are you able to see samples? Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the electronic record and the POMR.
