Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Surgical Management
  • Health Information Systems

Background:

  • Pre-prosthetic surgery patient data management is often manual and fragmented.
  • Efficient clinical record-keeping is crucial for surgical audits and research.
  • Existing systems lack comprehensive data handling for pre-prosthetic surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate a computerized system for pre-prosthetic surgery.
  • To enhance the management of clinical records for pre-prosthetic procedures.
  • To facilitate surgical audits and epidemiological studies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a commercial database management program and a microcomputer.
  • Developed functionalities for adding, editing, deleting, and searching clinical records.
  • Enabled generation of consultation summaries and discharge letters.

Main Results:

  • The system can store up to 30,000 clinical records.
  • Facilitates data retrieval, summary generation, and discharge letter creation.
  • Supports surgical audit capabilities for pre-prosthetic surgery data.

Conclusions:

  • The implemented system offers significant benefits for personal and departmental audits.
  • It is valuable for epidemiological studies and research on surgical treatment and morbidity.
  • Computerization improves efficiency and data accessibility in pre-prosthetic surgery.
