Article Abstract:

MacNeal Health Network should be able to negotiate the transition to managed care in the Chicago health market due to the breadth of its extensive network of affiliated primary physicians as well as the innovative adaptation of information technology to meet its processing needs. MacNeal's integration of its primary care affiliates into its electronic medical record system is helping it to draw even more primary care physicians into its network.

Physicians will use computers

Article Abstract:

Physicians and other medical personnel at Beth Israel Hospital use computers to find patient information, send and retrieve e-mail and search a bibliographic database. The hospital's computer system was designed to be intuitive and easy to use. Physicians use the computer system voluntarily, but many physicians prefer to use the computer for certain functions rather than rely on paper documents or telephone calls.
