Methodologies for Medical Computing. Date Bases and Management Database Management: An Automated System for Coding Data from Summary Time Oriented Record (STOR)

摘要

A system to automatically encode a portion of the patient specific data of an ambulatory record system has been developed and implemented. The first use of the system that passes the clinical data of 224 patients to the ARAMIS research databank is described. Issues concerning the capture and use of naturally occurring patient data for clinical research are discussed.
