Revolution in medical records tracking.

It is now over two years since the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary implemented its locally developed computerised Medical Records Tracking System. The benefits of the system, which has turned a well organised Central Records Library into a highly efficient production unit for the Aberdeen Hospitals handling some 3,000 medical record movements per day, can best be illustrated by knowing that there were only 10 missing medical records for the 70,000 attendances at outpatient clinics over the last 3 month period.

Colonoscopy and the followup of colorectal carcinoma.

The colonoscopy findings in 100 patients who had had a previous resection for colorectal carcinoma are reviewed. This postoperative surveillance was aimed at discovering benign or malignant neoplastic growth within the remaining large bowel. Six patients had further carcinoma discovered at colonoscopy followup, five of these were symptomless. Twenty-eight patients had one or more adenomas. A special risk group was confirmed: patients with multiple neoplasia in the original resected specimen have over a 50% chance of further adenomas being present. This represents a worthwhile yield and colonoscopy surveillance of the remaining colon should be part of the followup programme in these patients.
