Computer-assisted recording of the objective neurologic finding.
Main principles of a computerized data collection system of the objective neurologic finding are presented. In the course of the findings recording, the physician communicates with the computer by an alphanumerical display in an interactive mode. The recording procedure is suggested by the computer program. The data are stored for further processing and are available as a narrative printout. The program uses a driving data structure of tree-like organized medical expressions with some control and formating parameters assuring medically correct procedures.
