PY - 2017 T2 - Obesity Medicine: Management of Obesity in Women's Health Care AB - The use of handheld and computer-based technology has revolutionized many aspects of the clinical practice of medicine as well as patients’ experience of health care. The pace of development of this technology is extremely rapid, and busy clinicians often struggle with important questions about these innovations. How do I find and afford the best new devices and technologies? What are the best practices and rules for interacting with patients using these technologies? Are there security issues to consider? Will my patients like them or benefit from them? Despite these questions and concerns, there is evidence that clinicians and patients are adopting these technologies rapidly.1 The adoption of electronic health records, for example, was progressing slowly until 2011, when use began doubling for hospitals and clinician offices, due largely to incentives and legislation.2 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/19 UR - obgyn.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1139757718 ER -
