Talk:Concept Processing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I would suggest the addition of Outlines as another technology that is used. Outlines differ from templates in that an outline is designed and customized before the point of care visit, but it is soft coded allowing changes to be made over time. Another difference is that in an outline instead of having text entry boxes like in a template the user selectes concepts from predefined soft coded lists. These lists represent a click-per-concept interface that is both fluid and powerful and does not involve the use of an atificial inteligence in the gathering of information. Outlines are used in several EMR's including ChartWare which is a product I have some personal experience with in the past.
