[Electronic data processing in public health offices in Schleswig-Holstein--current status and future developments].
There are several fields of activities in Public Health administration that can be rationalised or managed by electronic data processing. This includes typical data bases of Public Health services, text processing, communication, information base searches, statistical and epidemiological evaluations. In some administrations of Slesvig-Holstein, personal computers have been successfully installed for a limited range of functions. The possibility of linking up personal computers in local area networks or multiuser systems is discussed.
