[Personal Digital Assistants assisting in clinical and administrative tasks].

Personal digital assistants (PDAs) are increasingly used by many professional and private users. They replace and combine common calendars, directories, to-do-lists and much more. Supplemented by useful additional software they can assist the clinician in his daily routine work. This concerns typical medical information as well as administrative work but gets more importance with regard to the planned introduction of diagnosis related groups in Germany however. Exact coding of medical performance is essential for this future invoice system. How PDAs can be used convenient in this respect will be shown with examples from our department.

[Principles and advanced techniques for better internetpresentations in obstetrics and gynecology].

Internet presentations are common tools for better medical communication and better scientific work. Meanwhile a great number of gynecological and obstetrical institutions present data via the world wide web within a wide range of quality and performance. Specific HTML editors offer quick and easy presentations, but only advanced internet techniques enable interesting multimedia presentations. N-tier applications are the future standard and we must integrate them in general informatical systems. New Concepts, actual tools and general problems will be discussed and new principles similar to actual E commerce techniques are able to solve our special medical demands.

[Integration of quality assurance procedures into medical documentation systems--from quality indicator to improved medical quality].

Medical and commercial data are essential for sufficient clinical management. While regional quality studies--for example the German Perinatal Data Study--are mighty tools to compare the quality of departments in total--the integration of evaluated individual quality indicators in data processing systems can highly improve clinical results and clinical management. The evaluation of quality indicators improves the benefit of quality management. Parameters monitoring the contentment of patients are extremely valuable information. Quality management and information management are closely linked.

[Current internet technology for gynecology--from hypertext transfer protocol to embedded web server].

The scientific and commercial use of the internet has caused a revolution in information technologies and has influenced medical communication and documentation. Web browsers are the becoming universal starting point for all kinds of client-server applications. Many commercial and medical systems--such as information reservation systems--are being shifted towards web-based systems. This paper describes new techniques. Security problems are the main topics for further developments in medical computing.

[Medical controlling--principles, conditions and current tools].

In 2003 diagnosis related groups (DRG's) will be established in Germany as a new system for describing costs of inpatient treatment. Principles of medical controlling are explained, the development from the system formerly used in Germany towards DRG's is described and computer-based assistance already available is pointed out and evaluated critically.

[Computer-assisted cardiotocogram analysis--from descriptive to perinatal expert system].

The interpretation of cardiotocograms is essentially for perinatal management, it remains labour intensive and depends on training and experience. With the development of modern analysing systems with conventional classification techniques, it seems possible to introduce expert systems and neuronal networks for a better interpretation and classification of cardiotocograms. Techniques of artificial intelligence are powerful tools and should be integrated in future systems. Because CTG-analysis--as a single procedure--is only of limited value for sufficient fetal prognosis, we conclude that computer aided CTG-analysis in combination with additional fetal parameters, for example partial oxygen pressure, will allow the development of future sufficient perinatal expert systems. Nothing should hinder future integration of computerized cardiotocogram analysing systems into everyday clinical routine and to connect it to obstetrical databases.

[Hospital information systems or data processing in gynecology? Strategic reflections towards a comprehensive information concept].

Hospital information systems are essential tools for efficient hospital management and improvement of medical procedures. Structural differences between the management of hospital information systems and the management of other huge, distributed and heterologous information systems cannot be found. However, there are differences concerning special tasks in patient care and medical research with high demands in data protection and modularity. The management of information processing has to be performed systematically.

[Optimizing performance documentation in gynecology--assistance from the internet].

The documentation of operations in the field of gynecology and obstetrics is regulated by social laws in Germany. Only by optimal encoding of diagnoses and procedures an efficient cashing with the health insurance's can be achieved. This requires profound knowledge of the invoice modalities and usually support by computer systems. The Internet offers in this respect some assistance, which in the following is pointed out and evaluated critically.

[Congress organization and the internet--new structures in scientific communication for gynecology?].

For decades scientific sessions and conferences were a proven way to spread and exchange scientific results worldwide--not only in the field of medicine. With growing availability and accessibility of information on the internet and WWW conferences are now not only listed and announced on a multitude of websites, but also are prepared ahead from simple registration to online discussions. By means of selected examples information is provided on how keeping oneself informed about former or planned conferences by using the internet.
