Abstract
Direct patient-computer interviews were among the earliest applications of computing in medicine. Yet patient interviewing and other clinical applications have lagged behind fiscal, administrative, and research uses. Several reasons for delays in the development and implementation of clinical computing programs are discussed. Patient interviewing, clinician consultation, and other applications of clinical computing in mental health are reviewed, as well as changes that will facilitate their appropriate use.
