ROI

Does the gain outweigh the cost. That is what ROI is all about. Return On Investment. My office is still run using paper and pen. Sometimes pencils. My boss wanted to move into the 21st century and go paperless with electronic records. Paperless is not really "paperless". It is less paper. You still need paper for some things. Our only need in using electronics was for progress notes. After every session the doctors write down in a few lines what went on. The electronic records program would cost about $4000 and the electronics computer support would be $1620 a year. I see no value in this.
