Benefits of Data Reconciliation
Medical data reconciliation covers the uncertainties associated with the safety of patients. Nurses and physicians seldom verify or keep records of medications taken by a patient, making data reconciliation an important undertaking to the integration of the patients' records in the clinicians' database. According to Ehrenstein (2019), this makes it easier to validate and fill gaps in a patient's report information that patients may not keep properly. The other benefit is accuracy achieved by electronic medical data record embraced in the current technological environment. Such data is more accurate and efficient compared to paper-based records. To prevent errors originating from inaccurate data input, it is essential to provide the information in a properly formatted and classified database. This enables the health practitioners to correct any discrepancies that might be present in the data (Ehrenstein 2019).
