    A Melanoma Register was updated from a card system to a computer database. This digital transformation significantly improved patient follow-up and data analysis capabilities for melanoma research.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Medical Informatics

    Background:

    • Melanoma patient data was historically managed using a manual filing card system.
    • This traditional method limited analytical potential and patient follow-up efficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the transition of a Melanoma Register from a manual system to a computerized one.
    • To highlight the benefits of this technological upgrade for data analysis and patient management.

    Main Methods:

    • A significant portion of the Melanoma Register was transferred to a computer system.
    • The new system incorporates both word and data processing programs.

    Main Results:

    • The computerization has revolutionized the analytical capabilities of the collected melanoma data.

  • Patient follow-up for both existing and new cases has been substantially enhanced.
  • The system's applicability extends beyond melanoma to other tumors and diseases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Digital transformation of patient registers significantly enhances research and clinical management.
    • Computerized systems offer superior analytical power and patient tracking compared to manual methods.
    • The developed system demonstrates broad applicability across various medical conditions.
