I recently started a new job in the health care industry and during my first week, all I keep hearing about was this huge project to switch from paper charts to computerized medical records. Once the project is complete, all patient information will be stored electronically and will be accessible to all medical practices within that particular health system. This will increase efficiency, improve medical care and reduce medical errors.
This is huge! Gone will be the days of the health care staff going to find your chart, it will be just a click of the mouse to find all of the health data. Here is another example of how technology is and will continue to transform the world.
