IT Clinical Happenings

In the Institute on Aging ambulatory care clinic, there are doctors, advanced practice nurses, social workers, dietitians, and pharmacist who provide optimal health decisions for every person who visits the clinic. This team approach happens in an area called the "war room." Other team members are in the same building to assist with physical therapy and occupational therapy when needed. The Institute on Aging was the first on campus to integrate an elaborate informatics program that allows one to access the record and follow the client in all elements of care. The continuity of care is greatly strengthened as a result.
