Computers offer increasing benefits in the practice of medicine, in management and in clinical research. Computing for Clinicians provides a basic understanding of computers, their use, and their place in clinical medicine for all physicians working with computers, allowing them to use available resources to their full potential. The book starts with a simplified account of the current technology of computers and an explanation of the more commonly used jargon. Subsequent chapters address the main applications: administration; data analysis and medical equipment; clinical data collection; clinical diagnosis; treatment; and education.
