โฆ Synopsis
This paper presents a computerized data base management and information retrieval system for a heroin addiction research clinic, which has potential application for any type of clinical research. It describes data input checking programs, file structures, and output programs. The system contains several interesting features: built-in feedback error detection and correction; patient month matrix formatting and data compression; and a virtual blocking system to reduce the size of the files.

A system is presented for computer simulation of the logical processes used by the physician in clinical medicine. The medical logic in a given area is formulated in modular fashion, where each module states the inference to be drawn and the clinical data on which the inference is based. The complex
A data base program for some types of patient visits, especially medical procedures, is described. It would be primarily useful as a tool for clinical research, but its implementation would depend on its contributing to the routine documentation of patient visits (i.e. generate typed reports appropr
