Doctor friendly electronic patient record.

In this paper we would like to show importance of using modern information technology in implementation and development of health information systems. Our main focus is on doctor's work. Doctors will use computer only if they will see clear advantages. Traditional data gathering and display are not sufficient, so modern software should provide speech interfacing and computer graphics in various applications and enable the use of electronic mail, hand held computers, electronic data interchange, etc. among other features. This paper tries to show the needs for applications of those features. They are already implemented as part of our hospital information systems.
