Interest in electronic medical records and computerized patient records began with a desire to efficiently retrieve data for outcomes research. One of the best ways to improve medical care is through good clinical outcomes research, which requires accurate, detailed clinical information. In investigating different systems for recording and codifying the information, the authors found that no real systems existed. The detailed information collected for outcomes research could be used for a variety of other processes in the business of health care and is thus worthy of being efficiently recorded.
Skull base tumors are considered one of the most difficult pathologic entities to diagnose and treat. The physician is heavily dependent on imaging studies to determine the best form of treatment. As imaging technology becomes more advanced, the physician will need to be able to intuitively explore the complex data. Such intuitive exploration requires the use of high performance computer hardware and software. Issues related to this concept and a summary of current work in this area are presented.
