Veterans Affairs residency realignment and National Graduate Medical Education policy.

The supply of physicians in the United States is affected by a variety of complex factors. Given the current abundance, if not oversupply, of physicians and the dramatic changes under way in the US health care delivery system, policy makers have renewed efforts to implement strategies that will lead to an appropriate balance of physicians in the United States. Several organizations have recommended specific strategies for achieving that goal. The Veterans Health Administration has already decided to change the number and distribution of its residency training positions. These changes cannot, however, be viewed in isolation. The Veterans Health Administration plays an important role in the graduate medical education of many physicians in the United States, and the magnitude of the intended changes could have a significant impact on residency opportunities.

The computer-based record: patient moving from concept toward reality.

In 1991 the Institute of Medicine issued a report on improving patient records which has proven to be a landmark for the many individuals and institutions involved in the development of computer-based patient records (CPRs). The report called Computer-based Patient Records: An Essential Technology for Health Care, recommended that CPRs become the primary form for patient records, and urged widespread implementation of CPRs within a decade. It also provides a framework for reviewing the current status of CPRs. In reviewing progress that has been made toward CPRs since the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report was released, it is useful to look beyond the IOM report's major focus on efforts in the USA and include international activities related to CPR development and implementation. Looking forward, CPR efforts are likely to be expedited through greater collaboration.
