The Charter Medical Corporation clinical information system: a preliminary report.
Charter Medical Corporation's computerized Clinical Information System is described. The computerized system helps clinicians formulate and document individualized patient treatment plans along the continuum of care and to improve internal medical record keeping. The system can also help improve the efficient collecting, storing, retrieving, and reporting of clinical information, both for internal use and for external utilization review and case management. In the future, the system will be linked to Charter's continuous quality improvement efforts and to its new Clinical Outcome Monitoring System.
