Abstract :
There is currently an international trend to involve computer and Internet in medical record. Electronic Medical Record (EMR) hold great promise for improving quality of patient care, but there are many limits to EMR adoption. We propose a technology that would overcome this limits, a single instrument that include the drug trolley and workstation computer. To asses the benefit of the introduction of this technology we propose an evaluation based on a scientific method, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).
