Development and trial operation of a World Wide Web-based data entry system for the collection of statistical data on the management of the national university hospitals in Japan.
A WWW-based, on-line, data-entry system for the collection of statistical data on the management of Japanese national university hospitals has been developed. Trial operation of the system showed that it can reduce the labour and budgetary costs of data collection and also demonstrated that an on-line, data-entry system is feasible in Japan. In April 1997, we began production use of the system, and we are to develop another WWW-based data-entry system that can deal with all other statistics on hospital management.
