How extensively are computers used at CPMC?
CPMC uses computers extensively throughout the hospital. All orders are entered by house staff via computer terminals located at all nursing stations, in the physicians’ lounge and next to the call rooms. Computerized literature searches are accessed via Ovid, PubMed, MD Consult and Up-To-Date. A full text search capacity is available at many computer terminals and, with the exception of Up-to-Date, can be used by our residents at home. There are over one hundred and fifty medical textbooks available through our intranet library website. House staff have ready access to the full range of library services, including all major journals and copying services. There is an excellent href=”/professionals/hslibrary/”>library and several smaller collections of important books and journals available in or adjacent to call rooms.
