[Electronic data processing assisted documentation of tumor after care in an ambulatory setting--a simplification of daily routine].

Abstract

A data collection system on microcomputer was developed for patients with malignant diseases in ambulant aftercare. At the same time when patient data are collected to be sent to a central medicostatistical plotting station, as it is usual in Austrian hospitals, a file for further aftercare is opened. By data transfer to other software products, statistical data evaluation is possible. Patients can also be called to hospital for different reasons.
