Paper records often seem manageable at first, but issues grow over time. Files can be misplaced, damaged, or difficult to organize as volume increases. Searching through physical documents slows down daily tasks and increases frustration for staff who need quick access to information.
Paper-based systems also make updates harder to track. Changes may be written in one place but not reflected elsewhere, leading to inconsistencies. Over time, these problems reduce accuracy and make record audits more difficult.
