Abstract

This paper describes the cost-benefit analysis of a computerized medical record system for use in physicians' offices. Actual data for savings in physician time in paper work was collected. The qualitative benefits of the system were evaluated using a questionnaire. The cost-benefit ratios demonstrated that the use of a computerized medical system is justified.
