Medical records are important documents that should be stored for at least 3 years after the commencement of the treatment of an adult patient in India. In a health care facility, patients' data is saved in an online or offline retrieval system. However, in the case of the primary care physician, the data is not commonly kept in an easily retrievable system.
To test the feasibility of using a set of free web-based services in digitization, preservation, and retrieval of prescription on a smartphone by primary care physicians.
This study was conducted with 12 primary care physicians. They were provided hands-on guides on creating an online form for uploading a prescription and using an application for retrieval of the prescription on a smartphone. Their feedback on the training material was collected by a telephonic survey, which had a 10-point Likert-type response option. Then, an in-depth interview was conducted to ascertain their perception on the tutorial and the process of digitization and retrieval system.
All of the participants were able to create an online form on their smartphone. They uploaded their prescription and associated data and were able to retrieve it. The physicians opined positively on the "cost of the system," "portability" on a smartphone and ease of the "tutorial". They opined negatively on the "limited storage," chances of "loss of data," and "time constraints" for entry of the patients' data.
Free web-based and smartphone applications can be used by a primary care physician for personal storage and retrieval of prescriptions. The simple tutorial presented in this article would help many primary care physicians in resource-limited settings.
在印度，医疗记录是重要文件，成年患者治疗开始后应至少保存3年。在医疗机构中，患者数据存储在在线或离线检索系统中。然而，对于基层医疗医生而言，数据通常未保存在易于检索的系统中。
测试基层医疗医生使用一组免费网络服务在智能手机上对处方进行数字化、保存和检索的可行性。
本研究对12名基层医疗医生进行。为他们提供了关于创建在线处方上传表单以及使用智能手机应用程序检索处方的实用指南。通过电话调查收集他们对培训材料的反馈，该调查有10分制的李克特式回答选项。然后，进行深入访谈以确定他们对教程以及数字化和检索系统流程的看法。
所有参与者都能够在其智能手机上创建在线表单。他们上传了自己的处方及相关数据，并能够进行检索。医生们对“系统成本”“智能手机上的便携性”和“教程的简易性”给予了积极评价。他们对“存储有限”“数据丢失的可能性”以及输入患者数据的“时间限制”给予了负面评价。
基层医疗医生可以使用免费的基于网络的智能手机应用程序进行个人处方的存储和检索。本文介绍的简单教程将帮助资源有限环境中的许多基层医疗医生。
