Abstract
The development of a database management system is an important task to improve decision making in a medical environment.
Main goals of our system are: establishment of a computerized database; generation of a discharge form by the computer; statistical analysis of coronary care unit data; and achievement of an informatic support to decision making. The initial version of our programme utilizes memory variables to store data, speeding up analysis of patient records. A newer, recently developed, release is based on a completely coded system: advantages are ease of use by inexperienced operators combined with great flexibility and velocity of data retrieval expediting.
Patient management and clinical research are immensely supported by computerized database systems of this kind.
