Written by: John
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.

Ah, John, you dissapoint me: making allusions to Star Trek is nothing to be ashamed of! Now, advocating for holographic doctors, that’s a whole different matter, but I’d personally love to get in a starship one of these days (2001 was nine long years ago, sigh). Thanks for this list: it’s a great tongue-and-cheek way of supporting HIT.
Sorry to disappoint. I guess I’m more of a Star Wars guy than a Star Trek one.
Holographic doctors would be interesting….lol.
Yea that Star Trek Sick Bay had about 1 or 2 patients a day. Will that EHR scanner also cross reference to ICD-9 … and ICD-10 when it finally arrives? Gotta love that meaningless granularity.
I slept in this morning. Is it the 24th century already?
