ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD1
a) The use of information technology is being prevalent in the field of healthcare to
increase the accuracy, patient satisfaction and to reduce the mismanagement of data.
Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a systematic collection of health information of
patients and specific populations in an electronic and digital format. The adoption rate
of basic EHR in 2013 to 2014, elevated from 33.4% to 41.1% and comprehensive
EHR adoption rates changed from 25.5% to 34.1% in the same year [1].
b) The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), is used in healthcare and it is a formation of
complex algorithms and software to form human cognition, which is in the
complicated medical data through analysis. It helps in coming to a conclusion without
human input and only with the use of computer algorithms. The factors, which
contributed to the failure of first generation AI was during the 1970 when the
capabilities of the programs were limited and the founders of these programs were
sensing fundamental restrictions such as limited computer power, Moravec’s paradox
depicted the little progress made in the field of vision and robotic, and lack of
common sense and reasoning.
c) Berner et al. (2005), [2] briefs about the adoption of electronic medical records in the
United States of America and from the article it is prevalent that the use of EHR has
been positive for the development of medical sectors in the country. The wave of
electronically inserted data and information technology is widespread in the
healthcare sector after the examination of the era between 1960s to the 1980s and post
1980s till the present time. During the early times the obstruction of technological
immaturity, financial constraints by the health administrators, unapproachable attitude
