Office of the future. Clinic style

With technology as the driving force, there are many changes occurring in medical group offices. The medical office of the future is a concept which encompasses the total office -- the interrelationship of all pieces of equipment. This focus on the total office will mean improved productivity and effectiveness not only in clerical areas, but in managerial and physician areas as well. The author examines some of the technology that is being developed today in voice and text processing and communication. Each medical group must analyze its present and future needs and then implement advanced concepts to meet those needs.
