Combining medical information with a business data system.
The School of Primary Medical Care at the University of Alabama in Huntsville is presently developing and implementing a computerized clinical data system that incorporates data from the Family Practice Center and the community hospital. The system can be used for the problem-oriented medical record, business and billing, the teaching program, community medicine research, and the evaluation of medical students and family practice residents. This paper discusses plans for the total system and the present degree of implementation.
