[EDP (electronic data processing)-oriented special documentation in neurology--extension to a computer epicrisis].

The contribution describes a final neurological documentation system for in-patients that permits the computerized print-out of an epicrisis. The computer automatically summarizes the elementary findings and presents them as a number of important neurological syndromes. The structure of the documentation and the experience gained in the course of many years of routine application are described. The system has proved to be basically sound under the conditions existing at a university hospital and a specialized hospital for psychiatry and neurology and has proved applicable for a large proportion of the patients without major restrictions.

[Electronic data processing-compatible documentation in neurology--developmental stage of neurologic findings for a specialty-specific scientific evaluation system and print-out of a computer assisted epicrisis].

A computer compatible neurological examination record has been drawn up for a neurological documentation called "ADOK Neurologie" as part of a scheme for the basic registration of patient-related information from all patients receiving ward treatment at the Medical Academy Dresden and the County Neurological and Psychiatric Hospital Arnsdorf. The examination questionnaire consists of dichotomous questions and permits up to 1,525 separate items of neurological information per patient to be stored and processed. The information permits purposeful scientific analysis and computer print-out of the epicrisis. The article reports on the structure of the questionnaire, the prospects and limits of the method and experience gained during many years of practical use.
