问题 Doctors and the health-care systems in all nations still largely use paper to communicate. This paper is shuttled from one hospital to another, often doesn ’t arrive on time and sometimes doesn’t show up at all. Some of the most important information is written in longhand, and how legible is your doctor’ s handwriting? Fortunately, there is a growing movement to change that, using electronic information technology. While relatively few providers use electronic health records in their offices, that figure is increasing rapidly. More doctors are using computers to order diagnostic tests and treatment. Gradually, institutions are building systems with common coding systems that allow them to exchange data.
The single most important benefit of electronic records is that they make it possible to deliver information to your doctor at the moment he is making decisions about you care. Instead of having to read through what can be hundreds of pages in your medical record to find a particular test results, or your weight has been over the past three years, that data are now available in an instant. Technology is also making it easier for patients to communicate with doctors and participate in their treatment—enabling them, for example, to ask for a refill and referral, or to transmit important information like the blood-pressure readings taken on home machines.
Prescribing medicines is also getting a lot safer and more efficient. Computers not only solve the legibility problem with prescriptions, they can also remind the doctor about potential adverse drug-drug interactions or patient drug allergies, and even recommend an adjusted dose based on a patient’s kidney function. In some hospitals, drug orders are bar-coded to be sure they are going to the right patient, and intravenous drugs are delivered through "smart pumps" that ensure the dose is acceptable. Without such checking, it is easy for a nurse to make an error, and give 10 times too much medication.
Computerizing medical care will be expensive, but there should be a huge return on investment. If not done properly, computerizing medical care can frustrate doctors and threaten the confidentiality of patient records. But in health-care systems that have adopted the technology, these are occasional problems, while improved safety, quality and efficiency are a daily reality. [br] The communication by paper between doctors has problems partly because______.

选项 A、it costs a large amount for postage
B、some doctors have difficulty reading the handwriting on the paper
C、there isn’t a good filling system to record the document
D、it takes too much time to copy what is written in the diagnosis

答案 B

解析细节题。该细节在文章的第一段开头．如把病历从一个医院转移到另外一个医院很慢，医生的笔迹不好辨认等等。选项中，邮费的问题文中没有提到，故A错误，没有好的记录系统文中也没有提到。抄写诊断书的内容文中也没有涉及，只有B，书写很难辨认文中提到了，故选B。
