ABSTRACT

The application of a personal computer(PC) to manage otolaryngologic patient data is now popular in many institutes and many users have been accustomed to the IBM PC and familiar with database (dBASE) program. But the numbers of Macintoshi (Me) PC users are recently increasing because it is easy to learn and perform Mc PC, which provides the excellent output under the given input data. The authors developed the patient management system with EXCEL program in Me PC, focusing on minimizing the efforts to input the data and maximizing the output. The data fields consists of seven fields, those are, chart number, name, sex, age, date of admission, data of discharge and diagnosis. For coding, there are no needs to type the international classification of diseases(lCD) number because of automatic coding system in the program. It is thought to be essential to apply the ICD to communicate others until now. The output of the data includes sex distribution and variable statistics, which are provided in graphic mode. Another output is the filtered data under variable conditions, which are provided in worksheet mode.
