    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Clinical Practice Management
    • Health Information Technology

    Background:

    • Advancements in computer hardware and software have increased the feasibility and popularity of information management systems.
    • Computerization of patient medical records is well-suited for data management but rarely documented in private clinical settings.
    • Existing literature lacks detailed accounts of successful electronic health record (EHR) implementations in private medical practices.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the fundamental aspects of medical records.
    • To compare traditional paper-based records with computerized medical records.
    • To describe a specific computerized office system implemented in a private cardiovascular/internal medicine practice, focusing on patient medical records.

    Main Methods:
