This study details the BP computer program for outpatient clinics, particularly hypertension follow-up. It simplifies patient data management for staff with minimal computer experience.

Area of Science:

Medical Informatics
Clinical Software Development
Health Data Management

Background:

Outpatient clinics require efficient patient data management systems.
Hypertension follow-up clinics generate substantial patient data.
Existing systems may not be user-friendly for non-technical staff.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a computer program, BP, for outpatient clinic use.
To facilitate data management in hypertension follow-up clinics.
To design a user-friendly system for staff with limited computer expertise.

Main Methods:

Implementation of the BP program on a PET4000 microcomputer.
Development of features for patient data entry, modification, and retrieval.
Inclusion of data sorting and tabulation functionalities.

Main Results:

The BP program enables comprehensive patient data management.
The system supports initial data entry and updates from subsequent visits.
Data can be listed, subsetted, sorted, and tabulated efficiently.

Conclusions:

The BP program offers a practical solution for outpatient clinic data management.
Its design caters to users with minimal computer experience.
The program is adaptable for various clinical settings beyond hypertension follow-up.
