Practice morbidity and activity analysis with the aid of a computer. A trainee project

In a five doctor group practice a system was devised for collecting information about morbidity and practice activity. A structured 'day sheet' was used to record the doctors' case load and this information was then transferred on to a computer file. The computer was programmed to produce monthly morbidity returns and practice activity analyses, printed out in a format that allowed easy comparison to existing published data.
