Summary

Modern information technology offers new opportunities for the storage and manipulation of hospital information. A computer-based hospital information system, dedicated to urology and nephrology, was designed and developed in our center. It involves in principle the employment of a program that allows the analysis of non-restricted, non-codified texts for the retrieval and processing of clinical data and its operation by non-computer-specialized hospital staff.

This Hospital Information System now plays a vital role in the efficient provision of a good quality service and is used in daily routine and research work in this hospital. This paper describes this specialized Hospital Information System.

Die moderne Informationstechnologie bietet neue Möglichkeiten für die Speicherung und Handhabung von Krankenhausinformationen. Ein computergestütztes Krankenhaus-Informationssystem für Urologie und Nephrologie wurde in unserem Zentrum geplant und entwickelt. Es dient in der Hauptsache der Anwendung eines Programms, welches die Analyse nicht begrenzter, nicht kodifizierter Texte für die Wiederauffindung und Verarbeitung klinischer Daten und Handhabung durch Krankenhausmitarbeiter erlaubt, die keine Computer-Spezialisten sind.

Dieses Krankenhaus-Informationssystem spielt heute eine wichtige Rolle in der effizienten Zurverfügungstellung einer erstklassigen Versorgung und wird in der täglichen Routine und in der Forschungsarbeit verwendet. Die Arbeit beschreibt dieses spezialisierte Krankenhaus-Informationssystem.
