From the Universities of Edinburgh and Aberdeen

A system is described which allows an accident department doctor, who has no specific knowledge of computer operation, to record standardised demographic and clinical details of patients with hand injuries. An educational element is present which suggests possible diagnoses following specific injuries and most of the recording is carried out using a light pen, thus obviating the need for any keyboard skills. The information obtained is stored on ‘floppy’ discs (each disc can hold details of up to five hundred patients) allowing straightforward storage, retrieval and analysis of information by either micro or main frame computer.
