Preparing physicians for a computer-based patient record system. 1992

School of Public Health and Community Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle.

The Providence experience provides a model which encompasses both preparation for a computer-based patient record and a physician-oriented approach to achieving quality documentation for the physician component of the patient record. The study comparing Providence to a similar medical center demonstrated the value of the new system in achieving quality patient records. Many hospitals in the Seattle area, including Overlake, now use this system or variations of it.
