Book Description
Written by the man Newsweek dubbed 'Cyberdoc', Cybermedicine is a passionate plea for the expanded use of computers among both doctors and patients. The book presents a compelling argument for the use of computers in the initial diagnosis and assessment of patients, for crucial decisions in the course of treatment, and for use in self-care, research, prevention of illness, and - above all - patient empowerment. Cybermedicine is filled with real-life examples from patients, practitioners, and health care institutions. Slack offers convincing evidence that computers can provide doctors with an invaluable extension of their clinical resources as well as the means for transferring more control to the patient. Slack shows that ultimately the computer has been a humanizing influence in the practice of medicine.

Synopsis
A Harvard doctor challenges the medical establishment to incorporate the use of computers into the delivery of health care in order to improve the quality of care through the large volume of medical information that computers are able to access. 12,500 first printing.
