SC must lead in medical office computerization

Normally close to the bottom of most national statistics, SC must be at the top of this one (computerized medical practices).

I say that because my former company, CompuSystems, served over half of the physicians in our state before our merger with Medic (now MiSys Healthcare) in 1996. While we did have more installations than all our competitors combined we estimated that "at least" half of the remaining practices had other systems so that would indicate at least 75% of SC physicians were computerized - and it now "could be" as high as 80 or 90%.

Our systems in physician offices started transmitting claims "electronically" in April, 1979 and even though not a full ?clinical? system, it had many features (like its interface with labs to import patient test data without key entry) in the 80?s that are being talked about today ?as if? they don?t yet exist.

Does anyone know how the proposed government spending plans to promote this?
