Modular program package for forming and analysis of data about patients with implanted hip endoprosthesis in Special Hospital for Orthopedics Surgery "Banjica" Belgrade was designed and realized. This program package could be one module of information system in this health institution. Developed package for analyses of endoprosthesis reliability is opened for eventual changes, upgrading, modifications or it is possible to take one segment of this program as autonomous one. Interactive dialogue is completely on serb language, so communication don't required knowledge of foreign language, and it is adjusted for level of knowledge of nurse who will make data registration and updating of database. We use TPK questionnaire as model for a program package. Through years this questionnaire was used for follow-up of implantation of hip endoprosthesis. This questionnaire contains patients identification data, anamnestic and findings data, operative and postoperative data, rehabilitation, and results of periodical controls. The key for patients identification data, anamnestic and findings data, operative and postoperative data, rehabilitation, and results of periodical controls. The key for patient identification in different bases in unique TPK-number-patient number in protocol. By using data from data base, this package allows search, relation estabilishment, and statistical analyses. It is possible to evaluate TPK-questionnaire, and after longer use, to do eventual modifications.
