title: [A UNIX-based electronic data processing system for routine use in a trauma surgery department].
abstract: A computer program for a UNIX workstation has been developed to support routine activities in a surgical department. A relational database contains reports on operations, medical letters and further data imported from independent computer subsystems outside the department. Data are accessible at 15 terminals and PCs through a simple and intuitive user interface with a mouse. The patient record is organized in a hypertext fashion and permits direct access to the various types of documents in a consistent manner. The implementation is currently used to manage information on 40,000 patients and has proved valuable in daily routine over a 2-year period.
