    • Cardiovascular Research
    • Health Information Systems

    Background:

    • Traditional medical records pose challenges for efficient hypertension research and patient management.
    • Need for improved data collection and accessibility in clinical settings for hypertension.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a computer-based system for hypertension research and patient management.
    • To enhance clinical decision-making through automated data summaries and risk factor identification.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a computer system replacing standard medical records with digital forms and notes.
    • Development of computer-generated follow-up documents including clinical summaries, risk warnings, and blood pressure graphs.
    • Integration of automated letter generation for general practitioners.

    Main Results:

    • The system has been utilized in three clinics for two years, recording data on 900 newly-referred patients.
    • Current data input includes 30-40 new patients and 160 follow-up visits monthly.
    • The system generates up-to-date summaries, risk factor warnings, blood pressure graphs, and GP letters upon request.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed computer-based system effectively supports hypertension research and patient management.
    • The system enhances clinical workflow by providing timely and relevant patient information.
    • Ongoing testing in general practice indicates broader applicability and potential for widespread adoption.
