A microcomputer e-book - A Database System For Patient Care Experience Using A Personalized Data Dictionary

摘要

This paper is a description of a computerized E-book system for maintaining a record of patient care experience. It uses a microcomputer and a specially-written file management program. Its features include a dictionary that is developed by the user to permit easy data entry and retrieval while maintaining compatibility with standard reporting codes. The author of this paper has used this system to maintain a list of more than 3,500 patient contacts during a three year family practice residency at the University of Missouri-Columbia and has found it useful in his education.
