Lincoln Medical Center is one of the relatively few facilities in the United States with fully computerized electronic medical record. The Health Care Information and Management Systems Society (HCIMMS) awarded our institution the prestigious Davies award in 2006 (The Davies Awards recognize excellence in the implementation and use of health information technology (IT) for health-care organizations, private practices and public health systems).

All essential activities are computerized – Electronic H&Ps, progress notes, clinic notes, discharge summaries, consults, computerized ordering of investigations and medication orders, documentation of vital signs, medication administration, social services and dietitian notes etc. All radiology and imaging services are also completely computerized. Radiology investigations and electrocardiograms are available for review on all computers throughout the institution.

In addition to numerous stationary computers, all areas are equipped with wireless devices that have the same functionality as the wired stations.

All staff has super fast internet access to numerous sources of information, including UpToDate, Ovid, access to full text articles of many textbooks and journals, Micromedix and other drugs databases.

The department has a well equipped conference room with all necessary electronics to facilitate the different conferences and presentations as well as sophisticated large format printer for producing industrial quality posters for local, regional and national presentations.
