Urologist: Clinical information system for urology

Abstract

“Urologist” was developed to run a Department of Urology. A local area network (LAN), one server and five stations, connects the single functional units of the Department (O.R.; I.C.U.; wards; Spinal Unit and Patient services). A Patient Identification Card integrates both clinical and organisational data. A multidisciplinary group, consisting of medical and non-medical specialists, was necessary to develop this system.
