    Author: Engelmann U, von Wallenberg H, Köhl U, Geesken E.
    Journal: Br J Urol; 1988 Jun; 61(6):527-30. PubMed ID: 3401663.
    Abstract:
    The use of microcomputers in medicine is rapidly increasing. To handle clinical data and to facilitate clinical research, a system based on several personal computers that can be linked together was developed. Commercially available software was used, consisting of a powerful relational database complemented by programs for statistics, graphics and desk top publishing. The low cost, modular and flexible system was handled by untrained personnel; computer specialists were not needed. Data on more than 1100 patients have been entered so far and data retrieval can be done by the physician "on the spot" using standard prefabricated reports. Data can then be analysed statistically and processed to graphics and publications.
