Abstract:
The application of personal computer (PC) to manage urologic patient data is now popular in many institutes. many users were accustomed to the IBM PC and familiar with the dBASE program in managing urologic records. But in recent days, the number of Macintosh PC users are increasing because it is easy to learn and perform Macintosh which provides the excellent output under the given input data. We developed the patient management system with Excel program in Macintosh PC focusing on minimizing the effort to input the data and maximizing the output. The data fields consist of eight fields. They are chart number. name. sex. date of admission data of discharge. diagnosis and international classification of diseases. There is no need of typing the international classification of diseases because it is automatically registered by previous coding with diagnosis. We think that the application of international classification of diseases is essential to minimize the input errors. The output of data include sex ratio and variable statistics. which ere provided with graphic mode. Another output is the extract of data under the variable criteria. which are provided with worksheet mode.
