A new approach to patient indexing.
A computer based rheumatology patient index is described. Patients are indexed according to essential clinical and laboratory data without reference to Procrustean diagnostic labels. The stored information can be searched for a wide range of practical and scientific purposes. The software was devised in the windows environment for the Apricot Xen for maximum speed and intelligibility.
