Enter the world of the microcomputer.
Step aside prejudices and fear, it is time for all medical group managers to find a friend in the microcomputer. This useful tool can eliminate the drudgery of number crunching and help solve the many practical financial and operational problems daily confronting the manager. The purchase of a $4,000 microcomputer system may at first seem ridiculous when a $100,000 system is already in use, but the software available for a microcomputer can offer specific applications for day-to-day management activities for which a " supercomputer " may not be well suited. The electronic spreadsheet applications for medical group financial management available through a microcomputer are explored here in detail.
