field tested in the offices of Dr. Jack Bass and his private
practice in Salem, Missouri
After testing the results of the following Missouri RMP projects in
the offices located in Columbia in a room called "Dr. Mock's office",
they were tranplanted into Dr. Billy Jack Bass' remodeled office for
field testing. The projects included patient history, radiology
consultation, automated test equipment, computer system development
services, medical systems analysis, medical literature retrieval, ECG
services, and pathology laboratory. The combination of these projects
was called "The Automated Physician Assistant." They were linked to
the Medical Center Clinical Test Site. "After almost two years of
operation the answers to three of the most common questions were
clearly and effectively answered: (a) technology does work in the
office of an individual physician; (b) there was clear-cut acceptance
of the technology by the patients, office staff, and physician; and (c)
technology was of value in initial screening of new patients, periodic
health examinations, and fostering an increased number of measurements
and an orderly collection of data." ("The Automated Physician's
Assistant", p.46) [AER]
