- Computer terminals, such as these being demonstrated recently for caregivers, will increasingly be available to physicians on nursing units. A program to convert medication orders and nursing orders from handwritten to electronic records will be phased in gradually at SHC starting in January. Called the Electronic Multi-Disciplinary Documentation Project, the transition will eventually offer such features as "real time" bar coded medication charting and patient care documentation that can be viewed securely at several terminals. For further information on the EMD project, contact Sara Munk, RN: (650) 723-4355 smunk@stanfordmed.org
