Computerization in the medical record department at Pioneer Valley Hospital.

In fully utilizing the Code 3 System, Pioneer Valley Hospital's medical record department and administration focused on two questions: 1) How can PVH obtain optimum productivity from the computer? and 2) How can PVH maximize the use of stored information? Finding the answers to these questions is a continuous process. As PVH further explores the potential of the computer systems, they realize that the uses go well beyond original expectations. Even in today's rapidly changing health care industry, demands for information are being effectively managed at Pioneer Valley Hospital. According to PVH staff, Code 3's insight into the needs of medical record departments has played an important part in helping them to meet those needs.
