Medical Quack: IBM, Duke develop Web site for patients

WASHINGTON - Patients in Duke University's health system can now go to one Web site to pay medical bills, schedule doctor appointments and eventually view their personal medical histories.

For now, patients, who must register with the site, can make non-urgent appointments and pay bills.

Clinical information, such as prescriptions, lab and X-ray results and immunization records, will be available online in about two months, Ahmad said.
