title: Introducing the computer to family practice.
abstract: The medical profession has been far more reluctant than the general business community to adopt the computer as a useful business tool. The experience of a group of five family physicians who have been using a computer since 1979 demonstrates that it is possible to achieve significant financial benefits, and to reduce the stress and workload of both physicians and office staff. The computerization of medical records, scheduling, and patient billing is discussed in detail. Physicians have controlled the paper load of the modern medical office by pioneering their own medical software system.
