Abstract

If computer-based care planning is to be acceptable to nurses, they must be able to enter care plans in a flexible and intuitive manner that does not distort their observations about the patient. The limitations of existing computer-based data entry techniques are discussed. A novel method of data entry called Predictive Data Entry is presented, and the underlying model of nursing terminology which supports it is described. The results of user evaluations are discussed.

[Does a computerized price comparison module reduce prescribing costs in general practice?].

The aim was to assess the trends in prescribed defined daily doses (DDD) and drug expenses before and after the introduction of a computerized cost containment module. On January 1993 the module was introduced in 20 practices in Aarhus County that used the computer record system APEX. Two control groups were made. From the Public Health Insurance in Aarhus County (600,000 inhabitants) data were collected during 1992 and 1993. Compared with te controls there were no changes in prescribed DDD, reimbursement for prescribed drugs, and reimbursement per prescribed DDD in the intervention group after the introduction of the module. Cost containment procedures should be more intensive than just giving the doctors a computer-assisted decision aid.
