A computerized multi-use craniofacial patient record.
A computerized craniofacial patient record reinforces the link between clinical research and the treatment process. The availability of microcomputers and appropriate software has made it feasible for most craniofacial groups to organize patient data for easy retrieval and analysis. Selection of the computer system and programs follows careful planning and systematic delineation of the desired functions of the system. An example of a working computerized craniofacial patient record system is described.
