A chartless record--is it adequate?

The computerized medical record supported by The Medical Record (TMR) has been the only record of physician-patient encounters on the nephrology service of the Durham Veterans Administration Medical Center since April 1981. Physicians using the system evaluated the adequacy of the computerized record as a replacement for the paper chart. The computerized record was able to capture and display all pertinent data. Manual or computerized narratives provided a useful supplement to the core computerized record only in those rare instances that a physician needed to point out which of the data in the record were important to his decision making.

Integration of a computer-based patient record system into the primary care setting.

The use of computer-based patient record systems (CPRS) in the primary care setting will increase significantly over the next few years. Real-time, point-of-care use of such systems must provide adequate payback to justify the intrusion into the provider/patient relationship. The authors describe, through the transition of a legacy system into a state-of-the art system, how such a system might be integrated into the primary care setting. Information flow is organized around an event, such as a patient encounter, or around the patient. The Medical Record (TMR) optimizes the provider/computer interaction through the use of protocols and clinical guidelines. Documentation is enhanced through the use of computer-generated progress notes.
