title: Software for family practice: a decade of development.
abstract: The University of Ottawa's Department of Family Medicine has been developing software for family practice for ten years. The system started with remote keyboard data entry and has evolved through use of optical mark/sense reading to the use of two IBM personal computers for system maintenance. Programs have been developed for billing procedures in two provinces, filing and chart organization, administrative statistics, educational profiles of individual practices, data for research, patient reminders, and appointment booking. Programs for CME, X-ray and blood test reports, and cross checks for drug interreactions are currently being developed.
