title: Facilitating transitions to EMR adoption through client-side electronic documentation.
abstract: We provide a description of a web-based, client-side application to facilitate physician documentation of hospital admissions and progress notes. This system is currently being used in an Oregon academic medical center independent from and in conjunction with computerized hospital information systems. Unique features of the application include clickable and modifiable review of systems and physical exam templates, automatic incorporation of electronic information from the existing electronic systems, and creation of a centralized note repository.
