| Abstract | The medical data processing has been introduced 10 years ago in the city
hospital of Neuchatel. The application includes a problem oriented
electronic
medical record, software assistance for diagnoses coding, diagnostic and
therapeutic files, access to Medline, specific applications for intensive
care and neonatology, and also a medical server meant for
exchanging data with general practitioners and other hospitals. The
reliability, the security and the usefulness of the application are
discussed, as well as the orientation of the new application, being
developed
at present, is described. The physicians, i.e. today users, must prepare
themselves the applications for the coming years. The treatment of the
medical data must be optimal and also make the personal relationship
between
the physician and his patient easier. |
