title: Computer-based patient records--hype versus reality.
abstract: Although growing in capacity, few of today's computer-based patient records (CPR) systems satisfy all the key requirements defined by the Institute of Medicine. This current vacuum, however, should not frustrate us but rather stimulate our personal interest and creativity as to ways to best accomplish an optimal CPR solution in a very dynamic health care environment.
