Information technology for doctors.
Recent advances in information technology will offer clinicians valuable new tools to support the medical management of patients. The most important of these developments is the electronic health-care record itself, which will enable the quick and complete documentation of all clinical consultations, investigation and interventions, using voice or a pen to enter data onto intuitive graphical screen-interfaces. The next generation of systems will offer computerised decision support for a wide range of clinical management problems.
