Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Informatics
  • Clinical Data Management

Background:

  • Clinical record management in neurosurgery is complex, requiring efficient storage and retrieval of diverse patient data.
  • Existing methods may lack flexibility and efficient querying capabilities for research and statistical analysis.
  • Automated systems can streamline data handling, improving accuracy and accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an automated procedure for clinical record management in a neurosurgery ward.
  • To enable effective storage, querying, and management of clinical data for patient care and research.
  • To implement a problem-oriented clinical record system with a minimum data set and classification nomenclature.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an automated system for clinical record management.
  • Implementation of a problem-oriented record with structured tables (Personal Data, Anamnesis, General Objectivity, Neurological Examination, Coma, Surgical Operations, Instrumental Examinations, Discharge).
  • Utilizing a relational database management system (DBMS) with a classification nomenclature for deterministic data retrieval and a mixed hierarchical/relational strategy (M/SQL).

Main Results:

  • The automated system allows efficient storage, querying, and management of neurosurgical clinical data.
  • A classification nomenclature addresses ambiguities in medical language for diagnosis definition.
  • The relational DBMS enables complex queries, and retrieval time is low due to optimized disk access.

Conclusions:

  • The automated clinical record management system enhances data processing and analysis for clinical research and statistical studies.
  • The system's problem-oriented structure and relational database design improve data accessibility and research capabilities.
  • Future integration of multimedia technologies is suggested for comprehensive data integration.
