title: A microcomputer-based structured journal system for diseases of the female mammary gland.
abstract: A medical journal system for female patients with diseases of the mammary gland is described. The system is developed in a commercial database system, and is run by microcomputer. The system has been used for almost 3 years in a department with approximately 550 new patients referred per year. Experience from daily use in patient care, and as a tool for retrieval of medical and administrative data, is reported. Further development of the system is discussed.
