Background • 印度的失明人口全球最多。在全國逾10億人當中,失明人多達1,500萬,還有5,200萬人視力受損。這些病人中,32萬人未滿16歲,佔全球失明兒童人口五分之一。如果有足夠醫療設備和專業人員,當中一半兒童是可以痊癒的。
Method • The time spent was documented for a total of 200 records (100 EMR and 100 paper records). • The independent-samples t-test and analysis of variance were used to compare the means of the consultation time and calculated documentation time spent between the electronic and paper records.
Conclusion • The results of the study showed no significant difference in the time spent between paper and electronic records. • The mean consultation time spent with electronic records was only 1.52 min longer(0.39 min shorter) than with paper records. • The calculated documentation time spend with electronic records was only 0.92 min longer than with paper records. Neither of these differences was statistically significant.
