title: New institute shoots for the moon.
abstract: The Institute of Medicine's (IOM) exhaustive study on the computerized patient record is finally complete. One of the study's first recommendations is to establish an institute for the computer-based patient record to get the ball rolling. Computers in Healthcare Editor Carolyn Dunbar asks a key leader of the IOM study, Richard Dick, Ph.D., why the ball is now rolling and picking up speed rapidly toward a true electronic medical record.
