An application of an optical disk filing system to the management of medical records. 1990

Nagoya University Hospital, Japan.

An optical disk filing system is a promising new method to memorize the contents of medical records. However, due to problems of image quality, input speed and durability with the disk, this has not yet been put to practical use. In the present study the image quality of the laser disk system installed in our hospital were checked, and this system was thought to be useful to store discharge summary. We developed discharge summary management system by inputting into the optical disks the discharge summary written freely by doctors and the discharge abstract automatically formed by computer.
