title: A model of computer documentation of hospital specialty rotations.
abstract: The importance of a comprehensive documentation system for assisting residents in securing hospital privileges has been widely asserted. Other applications of a documentation system such as encouraging research, providing individual resident evaluations, and providing program evaluation are also worthy reasons for developing a system. This paper describes a computerized system for documenting the inpatient rotation experiences of family practice residents and discusses its potential applications. An example of curriculum evaluation as a use of a documentation system is detailed.
