| Title:
| Smarter Systems Help Busy Doctors Remember
|
| Description:
| Busy doctors can miss important details about a patient's care during an office examination. To prevent that, Northwestern Medicine researchers have created a whip-smart assistant for physicians -- a new system using electronic health records that alerts doctors during an exam when a patient's care is amiss. After one year, the software program significantly improved primary care physicians' performance and the health care of patients with such chronic conditions as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
