Stanley Robboy: Organizing Disparate, Seemingly Chaotic Data Into a Meaningful and Useful Order

Stanley RobboyMD
From the Department of Pathology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina.


"Recognizing that this fantastic amount of information can easily become a chaotic glut, it is equally clear to all that order must reign if the patient’s medical record is to be useful. By useful, it is meant that the record must be informative whether studied by the patient, clinician, payer, statistician, epidemiologist, or researcher. By useful, the scope of the work must be collaborative with others who have vested interests, such as the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the Radiological Society of North America, and the Society of Surgical Oncology, among others."
