| Popis: | We have set up a vascular database based upon an IBM personal computer in the vascular unit at Repatriation General Hospital, Concord, using ‘Dataease’. This is commercially available software that allows the development of a database by users with little or no programming knowledge. The database is menu driven and designed to record details of admissions, indications for surgery, operations, complications and follow-up and has been set up as a prospective project from 1 January 1989 after a pilot study in 1988. Currently, interns, residents and registrars enter data directly onto the computer, providing an excellent teaching and review medium. Unit audit is easy as the program is completely menu driven and there are more than 100 customized reports written, ranging from providing simple complication details to complex reports deriving graft cumulative patency rates. This system also provides for ‘instant’ discharge letters which have markedly improved communication with the general practitioner. |
