[Electronic data processing-assisted text processing at the clinic and in general practice].

Word processing is currently the most frequent application for personal computers, and a wide variety of standard software is available. The capabilities of modern word-processing software includes the convenient typing and correction of all routine correspondence, as well as the professional layout of scientific manuscripts. The decision to purchase a certain word-processing programm should be made according to local needs and prerequisities. Three to six months may be necessary to fully adapt the organization of a clinic or private practice to the new technology.

Computer Systems

[Microcomputer systems in urology: hardware--mole's hole or useful equipment?].

The basic concepts and elements of micro- and minicomputer hardware components frequently used in urology are described. For advanced users, the details and trends are discussed in more detail. The interdependence of hardware and operating systems is emphasized. In addition, a method for the evaluation of personal computer performance is presented. Finally, proposals are made concerning purchasing procedures and selection criteria.

Humans

[Use of electronic data processing in the urologic clinic and practice--possibilities and perspectives].

The development, present status and future trends in the use of computers in urology in the Federal Republic of Germany are reviewed. The hardware, software required for hospital and private practice and the staff needed are discussed. Proposals are given for the installation and stepwise upgrading of computer systems, from simple text processing units to complex hospital communication systems. Finally new technologies that might considerably change the use of computers in urology are presented.
