[Electr(on)ic data processes in trauma surgery--"an old hat that still doesn't fit"].

Despite the application of data processing in medicine beginning almost 40 years ago and then employing the Hollerith-method until now no consent has been achieved to solve the problems that arise from the demands of jurisdiction concerning methodical proceedings and procedures in data processing in hospitals. Concerning this the hospitals' administrations are overstrained as are the clinical departments. The paper presented recalls empirical knowledge that has already been gathered long ago.

Aspects of integration in HIS.

One of the most important characteristics of a hospital information system (HIS) is integration. It can be divided into five types, i.e. integration regarding technical infrastructure, user interface, data, semantic content, and functionality. These types of integration, their advantages, disadvantages and necessary conditions, are described in relation to the concept of an 'open' HIS and the ongoing standardization process.
