Abstract:
The development of and the experience with a microcomputer based register of endoscopy is described. The paper work was reduced from nine forms to one. The register provides the information necessary for budgeting the resources for staff and new equipment. The system provides the opportunity for analysing existing and new principles for treatment and provides information about the pattern of diagnoses, thereby supporting the running of clinical controlled studies. During the first 29 months, data from 6,014 endoscopies were collected. The categories of patients and the distribution of diagnoses is presented.
