Welcome to Progress Notes On-Line and the Physician Resource Center. All of the Progress Notes regular features are here for your review – Patient Safety, Risk Management, Pharmacy, Research Institute and CME, Government Affairs, Oncology Update, Infection Control and Physician Informatics Update. Several new features will also be added in the coming months including an editorial page. By going “electronic”, we are now able to update Progress Notes content on a more frequent basis. While new features will appear every three months (April, July, October and January), Government Affairs* and Pharmacy content will be updated on an as needed basis. I hope that Progress Notes will continue to be a valuable resource for you and your practice. Please let me know how we can make Progress Notes even better.
