An on-line clinical information system in family practice.
An interactive on-line clinical information system is in operation within the residency of the Department of Family Practice at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. This approach eliminates some of the traditional sources of error in collecting clinical information. Particular attention is given to flexibility of data presentation: data may be segregated by time, by disease entity, by age and sex of the patient, by physician, by year of residency, and by disease class. The responsiveness of this on-line technology allows the production of complete, up-to-date practice reports within 24 hours of a request.
