Abstract

A new computerized E Book and data base management system is under development at the discipline of family practice of Memorial University of Newfoundland. This system is capable of rapid analyses and produces detailed reports on morbidity indices and age-sex distributions of patients. Examples show how this system is being used to analyze the content of family practice, monitor and improve family practice resident learning experiences, improve patient care, and stimulate and facilitate family practice research. Future directions of this project are discussed.
