We've developed a database that can work as a total clinical management system. We can directly download results of bloodwork from the laboratory by modem into the database. This technology could help to share statistics, to generate statistically valid correlations. In my office we will soon have a computer work station in each patient examination room, so we can have the patient's history and treatment experiences and all lab work at our fingertips. Yes, this information is eminently exportable.
Communication technology is an innovative, useful approach.
