Abstract
Computer-based medical records systems improve the provision of preventive services in the offices of family physicians. Until recently, these systems were either not commercially available for use by practicing physicians or were very expensive. A commercially available, microcomputer-based medical records system is currently used at the Department of Family Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina. This system is used as a fully electronic medical record and has sophisticated health maintenance tracking and reminder features. These features track the provision of preventive services, provide physician reminders at the time of patient visits, permit generation of mailed patient reminders, and provide reference to relevant patient education resources. The system described in this paper can be used by practicing physicians to improve their delivery of preventive services.
