Experiences with an interactive computer program for recording biometrical health screening data.
The nurses' measurements of biometrical health screening data comprise the central elements in our multiphasic preventive medical investigation in Malmö. It is also vitally important for the information processing, evaluation and actions of the screening that all test values and other data can be supplied to a uniform computer bank without delay in terms of secondary transferral routines. In our ongoing population investigation projectin Malmö, this has been accomplished by on-line computer programs for the different components of the screening. Here we describe the practical experiences with the subroutine use by the nurses to feed the biometrical test results to the computer bank.
