Probably the most outstanding feature of quality with the usage of informatics in the Ambulatory Care Clinic at the Institute on Aging is that the intradisciplinary team has access to all appropriate and approved features allowing better continuity of care. Clients do not have to give the same informatin repeatedly, once employees are properly trained and approved for accessing the system, the client information is availble at the touch of a screen. The one element that is highly guarded is the psychological testing which has limited access due to the sensative nature of the information stored there. Confidentiality is guarded just as in other hard copy charts.
