The Los Angeles Times ran a story Sunday, “Electronic Medical records have people abuzz. What’s the reality?”
“Primary care physician Matt Handley believes that information technology enables him to provide better patient care. So much so that he recently spent an afternoon hooking up a computer and DSL line at the home of a patient so he can contact him more frequently.” Click here for the complete article.
I found this to be a very good unbiased article because here lately there has been some negative chatter in the press for electronic medical record applications by a few in the medical profession. So it’s refreshing to see a “real-world” physician publicly profess their support for healthcare IT in a major news publication.
BTW, what’s the CPT code for in home visit for computer support? Dr. Handley may need it..
