Information technology can be a time-saving device in a busy practice if it is used wisely. One way to make it a help rather than a hindrance is to:
 
  1. Prioritize what is needed information and avoid spending time reading interesting information not central to the problem at hand
  2. Integrate professional and personal searching so that the same browser does not need to be accessed repeatedly
  3. Check e-mail frequently so that patient questions can be addressed promptly
  4. Check for viruses, spyware, and malware

Question 2

Data in the electronic health record that the provider reviews prior to a patient encounter varies with the clinic setting. In an urgent care clinic, the provider should review:
 
  1. The patient's current diagnosis and history
  2. Drugs the patient is currently taking
  3. Any recent previous encounter for the same problem as this visit and what was done
  4. All of the above
