This summer I interned at Gennesaret Free Clinics. It was a great experience. I spent a great deal of my time there scanning medical records. The other intern, Allen and I would go through old physical patient files and scan them into the computer in order to convert them to digital files on the Gennasaret database. I found this theme of digitalization to be an interesting topic that is not talked about enough in public health. Digitalizing medical records is an important task for the medical field as it can be more efficient in saving time as well as saving space. For a free clinic like Gennesaret that relies on volunteer work, going digital can make an even bigger difference. At the same time however digitalization can have negative impacts on public health. Gennesaret Free Clinics gives out tickets for a whole day’s bus fare for patients who need it. The Indianapolis bus system however is going digital. This means that getting a ride to a shelter, or food bank or clinic will not be as accessible to people without phones or cellular data. It will also be much easier to artificially regulate and manipulate prices which can make it even harder for struggling people to afford bus fare. Digitalization can be used for good as a tool to promote public health as it was in the scanning of medical documents or it can become a hurdle for health equity as it may be in the transition from the Indianapolis bus system from physical to online bus fare. It will be increasingly important to be mindful of how digitalization may affect lower income communities as we move forward into a more digital age. Progress should not come at the cost of leaving the most vulnerable amongst ourselves behind.
