泌尿器科診療におけるコンピューター利用に関する研究 第2報 : マイクロコンピューターによる外来診療システム

Abstract

We developed an out-patients data handling system utilizing a microcomputer (MCP) which enables physicians to input the data obtained from out-patients simultaneously (on real-time) and take out necessary data when required. MZ-80B with 2KB ROM (read only memory) and 64KB RAM (random access memory) were used for MCP. A 1.12MB registration disc device, MZ-80FD, and dot printer MZ-80BP5 were also installed. The data to be input are basic information about the patient (patients name and 4 other items), past history, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prescription. The input data are processed by the programs made for disease statistics, age-sex statistics access to patient's cards classified by disease, drugs used, symptoms and urinary findings. By employing this system, access to patient's data was speeded up and quality of examination and treatment was improved and standardized. In the future MCP data handling system will be further improved by introducing the multi-system approach and introducing various terminal devices such as a graphic display and digitizer.
