title: The use of computer systems dedicated to day surgery.
abstract: As a management consulting firm and a system house which has developed computer systems specifically to support Day Surgery activities, we are often asked by nurses, doctors and managers of Day Surgery units to help clarify their needs for an information system. This article summarises the key questions which are asked, together with answers which we have given, based on our in-depth reviews at many hospitals which are reorganising and making significant investments in Day Surgery facilities.
