Finding a cure for point-of-care problems in intensive care units

The move from hand-written notes to electronic health records (EHR) by health services across Europe is having significant effects on point of care. The rationale for making the move is compelling.

And, unlike paper-based records, EHRs are far less likely to be mislaid, lost or stolen.
