The Surgical Illustrator:A Web Enabled Computer Program for Documenting Clinical and Procedural Details

摘要

The medical record is a repository of clinically pertinent data resulting from daily collection and documentation of clinical information by practicing clinicians. Electronic medical records (EMR) enable clinically pertinent data to be searched, and accessed remotely, facilitating access to clinical information and potentially enhancing quality of care by enabling identification of practice patterns and inefficiencies in patient care. In addition, medical research, and communication with patients and consulting services are also facilitated by the EMR [1].
