Calculation of patient's complexity: paramedical and nursing facets.

In order to have a better understanding of patient's clinical reality for cost analysis and research issues, it is essential to complete medical and nursing classification systems by scoring methods. After a discussion of the concepts which underlie the entire methodology, the following paper presents an algorithm allowing the calculation of patient's complexity related to care, which is emphasized by a paramedical and nursing summary.

ARCANE. A new medical patient information system.

ARCANE is a new medical patient information system developed at Necker Enfants-malades University Hospital. It was initially dedicated to pediatric nephrology, using microcomputers directly accessible to the physicians. It is however designed for general use and could be directly adapted to many domains in Medicine. ARCANE's referential is based on conceptual slicing close to SNOMED's. The thesaurus is built on keywords or key-expressions. Combination with adjectives and modifiers reduces the volume of the thesaurus to about 1000 entries. Multipurpose use of the data is made available by automatic transcodification to ICD classification and SNOMED nomenclature. External formatting by semantic fields allows the physicians to attribute medical expressions dynamically to concepts of the thesaurus. This system, devoted to daily practice, is also conceived as a clinical research aid and an activity analysis tool.
