Abstract | A computerized system for neonatal case records has been used for the last four years at Kasturba Hospital. The software was developed in-house. The database can be used to generate discharge summaries, neonatal statistics, and epidemiological information. For a single patient, entry of data and printing of the discharge summary takes four to five minutes. Consolidated demographic and epidemiological statistics or selective clinical data for clinical research is easily retrievable. The system is efficient, accurate, and easy to operate. |
