Peter Altenberg: Information from Answers.com (580 words) |
 | Peter Altenberg (1859 - 1919) was a writer and poet from Vienna, Austria. |
 | Altenberg's detractors (many of whom were anti-Semitic) said he was a drug addict and a womanizer. |
 | Altenberg, like many writers and artists, was constantly short of money, but he was adept at making friends, cultivating patrons, and convincing others to pay for his meals, his champagne, even his rent, with which he was frequently late. |

 | Altenberg's system, from Physician Micro Systems Inc., includes three components: a scheduler, a medical biller and a computerized patient records (CPR) system, all of which are backed up daily to prevent data loss. |
 | Altenberg says the practice collects 67 percent of its total charges (discounts amount to 25 percent of charges) and that collections typically are made within 31 to 42 days of service. |
 | Altenberg also sees the computer as a tool to help family physicians do an even better job in one of their areas of greatest strength: disease prevention and health promotion. |
