Abstract
More and more, computer-based medical products and services are being offered to the office practice physician. Issues related to their validation, regulation, and standardization have become both critical and controversial. In this chapter, we explain what the issues are and how they relate to private medical practice. We provide a thoughtful discussion of both the benefits and potential harm of these matters to give you some perspective regarding what to avoid, what is important, and what is not important.
