    This study introduces a computer system for radiotherapy clinical records, simplifying data entry with a single mark-sense form. It provides clear, plain language print-outs of patient records after each update.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Radiotherapy Management
    • Clinical Data Systems

    Background:

    • Managing radiotherapy clinical records is complex, requiring accurate and timely data.
    • Traditional record-keeping methods can be inefficient and prone to errors.
    • The need for streamlined data management in radiotherapy is critical for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel computer-based system for radiotherapy clinical records.
    • To highlight the system's features for efficient data input and retrieval.
    • To demonstrate the utility of plain language print-outs for patient record accessibility.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a computer-based system utilizing a single mark-sense form for data input.
    • Implementation of programs written in Fortran.
