Clinical information systems for primary care: more than just an electronic medical record.

Massachusetts General Hospital Senior Health has integrated a computer-based clinical information system into all aspects of its patient care. This technology includes a longitudinal medical record but has broader functionality that encourages communication, education, and quality improvement activities. Care of geriatric patients is often challenging because of the complex nature of their clinical presentations. The case presented here, a patient at risk for stroke, illustrates how a clinical information system can facilitate quality care. The benefits, as well as difficulties, experienced as the system was integrated into the program's clinical practice are also described.
