Abstract :
Neighborhood comprehensive health care centers have become an important model of health care delivery in large metropolitan areas. Constraints in manpower resources dictate the need to explore ways and means by which computer technology can support the activity of health professionals in these centers. The Department of Community Medicine at Baylor has designed and is in the process of implementing a computer support system for a neighborhood health clinic, Casa de Amigos, of the Harris County Hospital District.
