Five family physicians in a group practice in rural Quebec have introduced a computer system to improve the delivery of preventive medicine. In addition to billing, the computer is used mainly to recall specific groups of patients for preventive measures, to prompt the physicians to carry out certain procedures at the patient's next visit, to indicate which procedures are required for the family members and to generate reminder letters. The physicians are conducting a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of computer-generated reminder letters on patient compliance and disease prevention among families in their practice.
魁北克农村地区一家联合诊所的五名家庭医生引入了一套计算机系统，以改善预防医学服务的提供。除了计费外，该计算机主要用于召回特定患者群体以采取预防措施，提示医生在患者下次就诊时执行某些程序，指出家庭成员所需的程序，并生成提醒信。医生们正在进行一项随机对照试验，以评估计算机生成的提醒信对其诊所中家庭患者的依从性和疾病预防的影响。
