[The electronic patient recrod: an essential part of using telematics in health care]

The DIADOQ CPR supports the explicit representation of the medical acts, facts and main inferences underlying the process of health care delivery. A controlled vocabulary is maintained by a frame-based concept system. This representation is the foundation for a consistent and comparable recording of patient data and for the flexible adaptation of screen forms to clinical contexts. The explicit and structured representation of the process of health care delivery enables the tight integration of knowledge-based decision support in the CPR system.
