Abstract

Healthcare's shift in focus, demand and expectations presents medical practices with opportunities to effect change in office operations and patient services. Developing strategies to incorporate technology among staff and physicians is a high priority for practice administrators today. A computerized medical record is a significant change in the daily activities of physicians, clinical support staff, and patients. A multi-manufacturer, integrated information system that routes data from a patient's body through a point-of-care device and straight into a patient management system - all without keyboard entry - is the Office of the Future.
