Despite the advances in digital health records, manual systems are still prevalent in some healthcare settings due to various reasons:
Cost: Implementing electronic health records (EHR) can be expensive, making manual systems a more affordable option for smaller facilities. Training: Staff may require extensive training to transition to digital systems, which can be a barrier for some institutions. Reliability: Manual systems do not suffer from technical issues such as software glitches, making them a reliable fallback option.
