Converting to an optical disk system

Optical disk technology is a move to the future. It is an exciting time to brave the new frontiers and change from a manual to an optical disk system. Since the technology is so new in health care environments and because each facility is unique, there is no "right" way to do optical imaging. Opportunities flourish to "do it your way." The process is challenging and time consuming, but the rewards of providing health information users with a quality record system make the investment worthwhile. Complete, thorough planning and education will ease the transition to tomorrow's system. Stop dreaming, make a commitment, and move forward--optical disk systems in health care are achievable successes!
