The Out-patient Medical Record (OMR) was developed by informaticians working at the Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, MA. In February 1989, approximately 20% of Beth Israel Hospital's clinicians moved to a location physically disconnected from the main hospital. From this remote location it was not possible to transport the patient's paper medical record from the hospital. To facilitate communication between the clinicians at this location and those at the hospital, they installed computer terminals in every clinician's office in this new setting and developed computer applications that allowed clinicians to enter, edit, and display patients' problems, medications, health promotion and disease prevention screening sheets, flow sheets, and progress notes. In addition, they developed reminders to clinicians for influenza vaccinations. Since July 1990, these computer terminals, that connect the clinicians in the physically remote site with the main hospital system, have been in use by all clinicians. As of 1991, 20 staff physicians, 5 fellows, 64 residents, and 11 nurse practitioners have entered 15,121 active problems and 1996 inactive problems for 3524 patients
