Yes, you should be wincing a little bit if you clicked on this post because you just had to see what it was talking about. Thankfully, it’s not actually my post. It’s a post on the CareCloud blog titled “9 Things Electronic Health Records Can Learn From Star Trek”. Here’s the list of 9 things (you can read the full descriptions on the link above):

• Multiple Channels for Data Entry
• Interactive Patient Education
• Holographic Doctors
• Detailed PHR on demand
• Integration with vital signs monitoring systems
• Adaptive, Intuitive Touch Screen Interfaces
• Real time Practice-wide Synchronization
• Remote Access for Patients
• Support for Mobile Devices

Pretty creative if I do say so myself.
