There has been a lot of trends for the better future of the campaign of going paperless, but have you ever thought that a good cause like this can also be manipulated into one’s benefits?

Sadly yes, some of the organization are making money through this cause too. It’s not that the public is robbed of anything but the public is also restricted in some ways.

Here’s how:

Some hospitals have transformed into digital operation from paperless billing. The Application forms, Personal details, Medical reports, Bills, Receipts, Prescriptions are turned into digital format now and the records are not being printed on a paper.

This is a good thing you might say, but is it?

Think again, all the important details of the patients are stored in the data base of a hospital and are not provided to the patients unless asked for. Even when asked, huge amounts are charged for it. Does it have to be this way?

The recent trend is that the prescription for the medicines are direct to the pharmacy of their hospital than giving out to the patients, this way the public is made to buy medicines only from their pharmacy which increases sale by the huge number.

This might not be bad but what if the patient cannot buy the medicines now? They are made to come back again to buy it particularly from their own stores. Most of the public would not relate to this, but the ones who have experienced would know the trouble they had to take.

And another trend is that the Medical reports of the patients are stored in the hospital which makes office paperless but are not given to the public unless paid huge amount. This too seems not that bad but think of the people who could only afford the medical fees but not the report fee?

Those people are made to consult doctors from that repeatedly as they do not have the required reports to consult doctors from another place. This is kind of forcing people to act according to what the hospital wants.

Even though the hospitals have done good jobs in turning into the digital platform by going paperless billing but there’s always a negative side to everything and this there too is a negative side of going paperless.

There has to proper government rules made on this particular cause so that the organizations wouldn’t take advantage of this cause and take control of the new generation and take away a better future.
