    Area of Science:

    • General Practice
    • Neurology
    • Health Informatics

    Background:

    • Epilepsy management requires continuous monitoring and auditing.
    • Computerized medical record systems are increasingly used in general practice.
    • The efficiency of these systems for chronic disease audit is not well established.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To audit the management of epilepsy in an Australian general practice.
    • To assess the practicality and value of disease audit using computerized records.
    • To identify requirements for effective computerized chronic illness monitoring.

    Main Methods:

    • An audit of epilepsy management was conducted in a general practice.
    • A computerized medical record system was utilized for data retrieval.

  • Audit objectives included diagnosis accuracy, management adequacy, and treatment effectiveness.

    • Main Results:

    • Sophisticated medical record systems can be inefficient for chronic illness monitoring.
    • A specific diagnostic and management protocol is necessary for computerization.
    • Manual record searches are a significant deterrent to audit without a practice register.

    Conclusions:

    • Current computerized systems require specific protocols for effective epilepsy management audits.
    • Future systems should facilitate automated data analysis for improved efficiency.
    • Enhanced system design is crucial for practical and valuable disease audits in primary care.
