A Micro-Processor Based System to Manage Incomplete Records in the Medical Records Department

摘要

The management of incomplete medical records of discharged patients in a manual system typically involves multiple files for medical records and doctors, much paper shuffling and frequent manual searches. A small micro-processor based system was designed and implemented in Z-80 MUMPS and has replaced the manual system in our teaching hospital. It takes only about 20 minutes to train a clerk in its operation since it duplicates the manual system functions quite closely. There has been good acceptance by both the medical staff and the staff of the Medical Records Department.
