Two disadvantages of computers in medicine?

Answer 1

Computers often will distract from interaction with patients as the nurse, aid, or doctor will spend more time charting than before, although the charting is more detailed with the use of computers.

Computers fail and when they do it puts more strain on the staff to preform the same function when they do go down.

Computers are at risk from hackers and it is far easier for people to gain access to patient information that they have no right to view, causing more difficulty to ensure HIPPA laws are enforced.
