In this short video then hospital president Roger Sherman introduces the system, giving a brief insight to how the system works. One aspect of very forward thinking contained in this video made in 1966, is that the nurse on the floor was reminded when a medication was due for one of her patients, including the drug name and dosage. The conclusion reached was that paperwork can be reduced, disease "correlation" can be performed, and errors reduced.
