Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page paper explaining database benefits to nontechnical hospital management. This regional hospital fills a crucial role not only in the community in which its various facilities are located, but also in outlying areas that do not have health care facilities easily accessible to all residents. The present paper-mediated system also does not provide sufficient protection for patient records; conversion to a health-information database can provide solution to many present and impending problems. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

a crucial role not only in the community in which its various facilities are located, but also in outlying areas that do not have health care facilities easily accessible to
all residents. Certainly there is a need to share information throughout the entire organization including crossing facility boundaries; at present such transfer of information is not easily accomplished.
The present paper-mediated system also does not provide sufficient protection for patient records. A fire or flood would be devastating. Proposed Solution
Conversion to a health-information database can provide solution to many present and impending problems. Patient information can be instantly available to any with a need for access to those
records (Database Concepts, n.d.). Practitioners in all specialties and at all levels can update patient records quickly and easily. All data contained in the database can be duplicated
quickly in as many total sets as necessary to ensure data integrity in the case of a data-destroying event when copies are stored at remote locations. Electronic billing ensures
more uniform billing practices, reducing the risk of failing to bill for procedures or change in diagnosis group membership (Szolovits, 2002). Present and Future Benefits
In addition to these operational benefits, the state in which databases exist today enable organizations to use the data contained within them for future benefit as well as
historical record. As example, full conversion of patient records to electronic media enables a search of the entire database. Some of the reasons for conducting such searches are
to categorize conditions, demographic data, points of patient history and other bits of information that together can be used to formulate more accurate projections of future needs. As example,
