Description

In its first edition, this book presented a blueprint for introducing the computer-based patient record (CPR). The revised edition adds new information to the original book. One section describes recent CPR developments and an international chapter highlights what is new in this still-emerging technology. The committee explores the potential of machine-readable CPRs to improve diagnostic and care decisions, provide a database for policymaking, and much more.
