It is surprising to know that. Doctors’ illegible writing causes 7,000 deaths in the US every year. Individuals lodging health insurance claims have been facing lot of difficulty in reading prescription/diseases/diagnosis while filing or lodging up claim forms.
Now the change is coming – as a movement has now begun to ask doctors to write prescriptions in “separate, capital letters”. Brainchild of NGO Forum for Enhancement of Quality in Healthcare and the Quality Council of India (a semi-government organization accrediting services), its first meeting in Mumbai last week was attended by medical associations and NGOs.
This move will be welcomed by all those who were finding difficulty in reading prescription/diseases/diagnosis.
