The problems of problem-orientated records.

Problem orientated medical records.

Problem orientated medical records will accommodate and integrate information about minor and major problems, allow rapid updating of information and better communication between health agencies and primary care team members. They will allow colleagues to retrieve information and assess patient problems, enable better co-ordination to occur between patient investigation and treatment, and ratio...

An algorithm to improve diagnostic accuracy in diabetes in computerised problem orientated medical records (POMR) compared with an established algorithm developed in episode orientated records (EOMR).

BACKGROUND An algorithm that detects errors in diagnosis, classification or coding of diabetes in primary care computerised medial record (CMR) systems is currently available. However, this was developed on CMR systems that are episode orientated medical records (EOMR); and do not force the user to always code a problem or link data to an existing one. More strictly problem orientated medical r...

Problem orientated records. Disease coding in a problem oriented general practice.

Implications of the problem orientated medical record (POMR) for research using electronic GP databases: a comparison of the Doctors Independent Network Database (DIN) and the General Practice Research Database (GPRD)

BACKGROUND The General Practice Research Database (GPRD) and Doctor's Independent Network Database (DIN), are large electronic primary care databases compiled in the UK during the 1990s. They provide a valuable resource for epidemiological and health services research. GPRD (based on VAMP) presents notes as a series of discrete episodes, whereas DIN is based on a system (MEDITEL) that used a Pr...

Evaluation of the effect of building orientation on achieved solar radiation - a NE-SW orientated case of urban residence in sem-iarid climate

Nowadays, with the development of the economy, the demand for energy is increasing rapidly while the energy supply is growing shorter and shorter. Researches indicate that energy consumption in the residential sector counts for the main parts of the total energy consumption. This paper evaluates the effect of building orientation on exposure to the solar radiation in a NESW orientated case o...
