Data protection in health information systems (HIS).

Information and communication systems in a health (care) environment are risky systems as the data processed, transmitted, stored and retrieved are person-related. An unjustified disclosure may compromise the individual's personal or social life. Therefore these systems must be subject to carefully designed and implemented protection procedures guaranteeing the correct use of those data, corresponding in the medical sphere with the ancient Oath of Hippokrates, as well as the preservation of their correctness, completeness etc., as requested by legal regulations valid for the location of the respective computer-aided information system. The same is true for the manual handling of person-related health data by conventional methods. In any case, the data subject's right of informational self determination must be taken into account.

On the incidence of malignant tumors in routine autopsies.

The present study taken over a 12-year time period analyzes malignant tumors in a large number of autopsies, with specific consideration of the frequency and location, age and sex group distribution, and histologic classification of the tumors. The tumors were first evaluated in terms of specific organs and organ systems and were then histologically classified. On a total of 23338 subjects who died between the years 1960 and 1971, 17052 autopsies were carried out (73.1%) and only 15384 (65.9%) of these were evaluated for out study. Altogether we located 4911 cases of MT, i.e., 31.9% of the evaluated autopsies. The number of MT in the males slightly exceeded that in the females (2508[51.1%] MT and 2403 [48.9%] MT, respectively.) We calculated over 60% of the MT to be in the 7th and 8th age groups. By comparing the two time periods (1960-1965) and 1966-1971) we calculated a significant increase in the MT rate by 1.7%. This increase was found mainly to effect the males (the female group showed only a slight increase). The greatest number of MT were located in the digestive system with an MT rate of 26.2%; next came the urogenital system (23.4%) and then the respiratory system (18.7%). The respiratory system took first position of importance in the males with an MT rate of 30.3% followed by the digestive system with 27.4%. The urogenital system dominated in the females with a rate of 29.0%. The rate of MT of the respiratory system was significantly higher in the males...

A DATA MANAGER for the health information system Berlin.

The needs for permanently changing the logical and physical structure of a medical datebase during the development of a health information system have initiated the project of implementing a DATA MANAGER. The concept of the DATA MANAGER covers facilities for the development of the logical data structure model including documentation of the model and programming support for application programs accessing the health information system (HIS) database. The outstanding facilities of the INTERLISP system have been found to be appropriate for writing the DATA MANAGER. A first data structure model, on which the DATA MANAGER will operate, is roughly outlined.

A data structure model for a health information system.

The Ministry of Health and Environmental Control of Berlin is developing a Health Information System (HIS) on the basis of a multi-satellite network system, comprising a central, regional, local and functional unit level. The main part of this paper describes the conceptual structure of the Common Data Base (CDB) of HIS with special regard to the patient-oriented medical information originating from the various institutions of the health care system. This structure comprises the following five levels: 1. PATIENT 2. PROBLEM 3. CASE 4. EVENT 5. ACT Each of the levels represents a node in the structure model. A node is an entity with a set of "local properties" being specified for each level, referring to selected data on inferior levels. The structures of these five levels are described in detail. In the last part, so-called "data-manipulation procedures" are treated. These are descriptions covering any data manipulation and represent the basis of data integrity through system controlled transaction with the data base.
