    Internal Medicine residency programs can improve procedure documentation using a microcomputer-based log. This system offers more complete data for quality assurance and educational adjustments, overcoming limitations of traditional log books.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Healthcare Administration
    • Quality Improvement

    Background:

    • Residency programs face pressure to document resident procedures.
    • Traditional log books are often incomplete and lack timely feedback.
    • Need for efficient and accurate procedure tracking in medical training.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a microcomputer-based procedure log system for Internal Medicine residency programs.
    • To assess the system's effectiveness in improving data completeness and feedback.
    • To explore potential applications of the generated data.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a microcomputer-based procedure logging system for residents.
    • Comparison of data completeness and timeliness with previous log book methods.
