Explanation / Answer

See First of all you cannot completely depend on the electronic health machines and Doctors are surely required for the checkups of the patients ..

The problem in this current process is that It is not definite in identifying the type of patients and still it is being continuosuly used in the Western States hospital . Which affects adversley on the patients and the reputation of the hospital .

The problems for patient care is - if the patient is not diagonized properly with accurate problem . Then the patient will be diaognized wrongly and given wrong medication which can lead to different problems . Which might also lead to death in serious conditions .

The problems related to the accuracy internally is - First the data capture .. Think that a person is asthamtic patient and his lungs are being scanned and what if it does not show the congetion properly . He still has problem and due to the error in machine , He wont be diagonized and the patient is in agony.

Quality measures are surely one the most important thing in medical field .

Once quality is down, there are 60% chances of a death of a patient . Never compromise on quality. By using cheap machines or syringes or equipments etc.. Use high quality , trusted and tested products only..
