Abstract
"In attempting to arrive at the truth, I have applied everywhere for information, but in scarcely an instance have I been able to obtain hospital records fit for any purposes of comparison. If they could be obtained, they would enable us to decide many other questions besides the one alluded to. They would show subscribers how their money was being spent, what amount of good was really being done with it, or whether the money was not doing mischief rather than good."KeywordsMedical Information SystemCase SummaryOffice PracticePrimary Care UnitAmbulatory PracticeThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

811 Citations1976Clement J. McDonald
It appears that the prospective reminders do reduce errors, and that many of these errors are probably due to man's limitations as a data processor rather than to correctable human deficiencies.
Medical CareQuality Assurance through Automated Monitoring and Concurrent Feedback Using a Computer-Based Medical Information System

A computer-based medical information system (COSTAR) has been used to support a quality assurance program where the data collection is an integral part of the patient care recording activity and, therefore, does not require a separate abstracting or encoding process.

The Regenstrief Medical Record system is a computer-based medical record system for ambulatory care which has been in operation since 1973 and represents a different approach to the difficult problems of efficiently using and maintaining patient records.
Methods of Information in MedicineFunctional Characteristics of a Computerized Medical Record
34 Citations1980W. Ed Hammond, William W. Stead +2 more
Functional characteristics of a computerized medical record — TMR — developed at Duke University are presented, based on three health care facilities, including the rate of growth of files, the length of various components of the record, the type and length of program modules, and various system function response times.
