Practice strategies. The paperless office: are we there yet?

Abstract

The technology is here. Why aren't ODs jumping on board? Building a truly "paperless practice" isn't simply a matter of buying a few computers. Its cost can be measured in money, space, training time, and aggravation. And sometimes the doctors who need it most are the least able to implement it. This author discusses the pros and cons of the paperless practice and shows us how some "paperless" optometrists have done it in their offices.
