title: A specialized hospital information system.
abstract: Modern information technology offers new opportunities for the storage and manipulation of hospital information. A computer-based hospital information system dedicated to urology and nephrology was designed and developed in our centre. It involves in principle, the employment of a program that allows the analysis of non-restricted non-codified texts, for the retrieval and processing of clinical data, and operation by non-computer specialized hospital staff. This Hospital Information System now plays a vital role for the provision of an efficient, good quality service and is used now in daily routine and research work in this hospital. This paper describes this specialized hospital information system.
