Quill: a novel approach to structured reporting

AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2003:2003:1074.

Abstract

The authors will demonstrate Quill (QUestions and Information Logically Linked), a comprehensive structured reporting environment for ambulatory care that was developed at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center. A notes capture tool was sought with the immediate hope of decreasing or eliminating transcription costs (currently around $6M/yr) and paper based processing while providing a foundation for decision support and research in the future.
