Almost Paperless

Day two hundred sixteen/365. Our doctor's office is almost paperless. When you visit your physician, the doctor turns a monitor to face you, and pages through your medical record on the computer. If you need a referral, it happens electronically. The doctor summarizes your visit in front of you, as you watch him or her type. The only time you might need paper is when the doc prints out a prescription for you to carry to the pharmacy. Even then, there is no more challenge with reading the doctor's handwriting.

 

I wonder how wide-spread this system is?
