title: [PATIS--a questionnaire-based, PC-assisted patient information system in the field of environmental medicine].
abstract: PATIS was developed as a questionnaire-based, PC-assisted patient-information- and documentation-systems within the framework of the "Umweltmedizinische Beratungsstelle" (advisory board for clinical environmental medicine) at the Medical Institute of Environmental Hygiene at the Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf. PATIS is a substantial element of a planed knowledged-based-system in environmental medicine. This system will further-more consist of databases for chemical substances information, exposition, and literature. PATIS records information about patients concerning personal data, former diseases, symptomatology and complaints, lifestyle, residential and working area, and spare time activities. Furthermore the state of physical examination, performances of diagnostics, and laboratory investigations are documented. A different questionnaire exists for children younger than 12 years. PATIS is able to supply an automatic report based on information of the questionnaire. This system is realized in the relational-database-system dBase IV and is utilized practice since the beginning of 1991.
