Patient Medical Records and Practices in Pakistan
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2022, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
A patient's medical history record holds a really important place in devising future treatment plans and making healthcare decisions. The inability to access accurate and relevant patient history can pose health problems and may even prove fatal if the wrong treatment is given. Modernity demands an automated system that can make data storage, retrieval, and analysis convenient. In Pakistan, due to the inadequacy of resources and attention, there is no centralized system for the maintenance of patient history records. Thus, there is a possibility that a patient himself/herself intentionally or unintentionally misses out on essential information that must be conveyed to the physician. This calls for a need to develop a technologically advanced solution to prevent the damages that may be caused by its absence.
