Question

Read the passage and answer the question. Passage: Ten years ago, the records room of a city hospital was a maze of steel shelves piled with paper files, and finding one patient's history could take an entire afternoon. Today the same hospital stores every record on a computer, and a doctor can call up a patient's past reports on a screen within seconds. The change has brought clear gains: prescriptions are legible, test results are never lost between departments, and two doctors in different wards can read the same file at the same time. Yet the new system has also created new duties. Clerks must enter every detail correctly, because a single wrong digit in a dosage can mislead a doctor, and the staff must guard passwords carefully, since a medical record is private information. The hospital has learned that a computer does not remove the need for care; it only changes where that care is needed. What lesson has the hospital learned?

1.
Clerks should stop entering details
2.
Computers should be removed from hospitals
3.
Paper files are never needed again
4.
A computer changes where care is needed rather than removing the need for it
