On today's episode of TalkToADoc, we are excited to shine a light on an aspect of medicine that is a little misunderstood, often complained about, and incredibly important to the future of medicine. We are talking with Dr. Vikeen Patel, an Internal Medicine Hospitalist and Clinical Informatics fellow. What is informatics? Why is it important? Dr. Patel is here to explain all of that and more. We cover electronic medical records, the future of access to records, how to build a computer yourself, how to do plumbing repairs, and basically fix everything! Join us as we meet a true renaissance man!
