  Description of Request: I have secured $150,000 to support the 
implementation of electronic health record keeping (EHR) at Saddleback 
Memorial Hospital in San Clemente, CA. With EHR, caregivers can more 
easily read physician's orders and prescriptions because they are

the possibility of transcription errors or other mistakes. Saddleback's 
EHR will include security features that make patient information more 
secure and private than paper charts.

UCR School of Medicine will be located in the heart of Southern 
California's Inland Empire, one of America's most rapidly growing and 
ethnically diverse regions. Establishment of the medical school will 
help to address the severe physician shortage in Inland Southern 
California region by training a diverse physician workforce and by 
developing innovative research and health care delivery programs to 
improve the health of medically underserved populations.
