Introduction:
Increasing demands on quality assurance und medical performance documentation require an immedate and evaluable documentation in the outpatients' department. Presentation of a new computer-based diagnostic system for reporting and medical performance documentation.
Methods:
Development and initial application of the system in three big orthopeadical or traumatological hospitals. Judegements about the feasibility of immediate documentation in outpatients' departments.
Results:
Presentation of an outpatients' departments diagnostic system with textblock-oriented anamnesis or anatomy-related diagnosis through pre-structured examination checklists. Coding of ICD-9/-10 as well as AO-classification and AIS (abbreviated injury scale). Implementation of scorings. Medical performance documentation through forms including pre-defined billing codes. Presentation of the documentation flow and its transfer into other contexts.
Discussion:
Pure text-based clinical results do not allow sufficient evalutation for quality assurance and medical performance documentation. However, a computer-based and immediate documentation in outpatients' departments should not mean a significantly increased workload for physicians.
