MSU
Clinical Center
As
the College's first clinical facility, the MSU Clinical Center
is the principal practice site for faculty and resident ambulatory
primary care and outpatient consulting services. The facility
is designed solely for the delivery of ambulatory care and
offers a variety of health services including resident outpatient
clinics, general medicine faculty clinics, subspecialty clinics,
onsite physical therapy, and laboratory and radiological services
including magnetic resonance imaging. The Clinical Center
houses an onsite pharmacy, nurse practitioner offices, conference
rooms, a computer-learning lab, and wireless Internet access
throughout the facility.
At
the Clinical Center, residents train with state-of-the-art
electronic medical record technology. Residents become proficient
in direct electronic charting and data retrieval. Electronic
flow sheets, problem lists, and medication lists organize
patient management and facilitate office communications. Electronic
prescription renewals and drug-drug interaction assessments
improve safety and efficiency of care. Physicians can trend
and plot data in both tabular and graphic formats, facilitating
both decision-making and patient education. Wireless technology
using easily portable computers makes the entire process convenient
for bedside interactions. In addition, the system is accessible
to approved users over a secure Internet connection, allowing
access to ambulatory records from other training sites.
