It needs to be electronic ? • The Original is handwritten and often illegible • Errors and omissions • Can take days or even weeks before it’s ready to be sent • Not delivered or too late getting to the Physicians to be of any use • Incomplete or incorrect coding i.e. inaccurate costing • Labour intensive i.e. speeding up requires more secretaries • Can only be viewed by one person at a time, Patient’s chart can be difficult to find or unavailable • Not available to other Hospital departments if patient re-admitted
