Mayo Clinic has a very sophisticated and well-developed electronic
medical record system which is integrated throughout all Mayo campuses
and facilities, and covers both inpatient and outpatient medical
interactions. It allows for rapid retrieval of all clinical, laboratory
and imaging studies for patients. A department intranet site provides
ready access to extensive online resources for neurological education.

peer-reviewed journals and contributed towards many well-known books.
Specific expertise of members of the staff and the reputation of
the Mayo Clinic leads to a high volume practice with a high proportion
of patients with complex and challenging medical problems. The experience
