  • Title: Keyless data capture: emerging technologies in health information processing.
    Author: Stich EK, Koch SD.
    Journal: Top Health Rec Manage; 1992 Mar; 12(3):1-11. PubMed ID: 10116252.
    Abstract:
    As middle managers, medical record practitioners will be involved in justification of auto ID technology to upper management. To prepare a good justification, one must have a thorough knowledge of the technology and its advantages and disadvantages. One must also be familiar with the payback period and the installation process. This article has attempted to introduce the reader to some emerging technologies in health care, and answer some of the questions that are key to justifying their acquisition. By most estimates, these technologies are finding their way into health care, however slowly, and hold much promise for improvement in productivity and accuracy in data collection.
