[Programming and structure of a relation-oriented data bank system for registration, blood alcohol values and documentation of findings at the forensic medicine institute of the Heidelberg University].
We report on a data base system for general registration including blood alcohol results which is in operation at the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Heidelberg University since january 1987. It is run on personal computers using dBase III plus as data base software. Working with the system has been adapted to the mode of operation hitherto. It's main purpose is to offer a general mean to standardize the documentation of results in the different fields of forensic medicine. At present it is run parallel with the registration by means of hand-written books. It's main advantage is the rapid search for all occurring names and files. Blood alcohol results are typed at the screen and printed out on the institute's standard form, with the expert's opinion being composed of text blocks. The essential data are extracted and transferred to the data base. A network of personal computers at different locations in the institute will be installed in the near future. A print-out of the data base will replace the hand-written registration, and the registration files will be completed by result files.
