title: The missing communication link.
abstract: It seems almost unbelievable that, in this technological age, an industry could have a problem establishing an adequate system for efficient communication of information. However, the health care industry has exactly this problem. With health care decentralizing rapidly, access to information for community based health care professionals is extremely important. The current lack of easily accessible and pertinent information sometimes has tragic results that could be averted completely with the thoughtful and judicious application of present-day technologies.
