Information technology holds promise for advancing healthcare

Below is a picture of a story the La Times reported on showing how Dr. Dennis Saver is using his PC and electronic medical software to improve patient care.  I'm not sure carrying a laptop is the best choice. I would have preferred to see him carrying a tablet PC, but at least he is using information technology to manage the patient chart and all the associated documentation that goes along with it.

Dr. Dennis Saver and medical student Carolyn Johnstone take their laptops into exam rooms.
