The Harrisonburg Community Health Center is converting paper records to electronic through a program called "E-Clinical Works."
Handwritten forms from old visits are scanned into the program and new visits will be typed in.
The program even allows a doctor to speak using voice recognition software, which then converts words into text.
Doctors will no longer have to deal with poor handwriting. The center's director, Dr. Jonathan Moss, says it's more efficient than the paper system.
"We can pull up a patient's name and then go to what they call the patient hub, and it's one screen that has everything about the patient on it," says Moss.
The Community Health Center hopes to have all its patient records moved to the new electronic system by the end of the year.
