[Integrated data processing systems for a functional diagnostic service].

Abstract

The paper discusses the problem of automation of the functional diagnostic service system on the basis of up-to-date informational technologies, gives recommendations on the minimum list of diagnostic procedures used for various service levels in medical institutions, outlines requirements for hard- and softwares needed for designing this system of integrated processing, provides specific recommendations on the structure of automatic complexes for the first two levels of functional diagnostic service.

[Computer program for retinopathy of prematurity screening].

BACKGROUND: The goal of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening is complete detection of all preterm infants with threshold ROP. AIM: We wanted to develop software to facilitate registration of ROP findings, checking due dates of re-examination, and evaluation of screening data. By means of complete and faultless registration and evaluation of the data of preterm infants, the effectiveness and safety of the screening should increase. METHODS: We developed software that runs under Microsoft Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 and is programmed in Microsoft Access Basic and Microsoft Visual Basic. The software allows all screening data to be registered and evaluated. Intuitive handling, third level of normalization in database architecture, and automatic plausibility checks guarantee the utmost integrity of data and efficacy of database. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: To date, the software has been used routinely in 2000 examinations in 1000 preterm infants. Our software facilitates clinical management and evaluation of ROP screening, which therefore becomes more safe.

The Pap smear, automated rescreening, and negligent nondisclosure.

A new element in the Papanicolaou smear liability crisis is the recent US Food and Drug Administration approval of 2 automated rescreening devices. Their manufacturers have undertaken aggressive advertising in medical journals and in women's magazines, generating controversy about whether this positions such devices as the new standard of care and whether failure to offer such rescreening might lead to liability alleging to tort of negligent nondisclosure, with contributing opinions from pathologists' and manufacturers' counsels. Cases are cited in prenatal diagnostics and blood banking that established liability for failing to disclose diagnostic modalities used by at most only a minority of practitioners and, therefore, have not yet achieved standard-of-care status. It is concluded that informed consent for cervicovaginal smears should include disclosure of the availability of automated rescreening to reduce negligence liability.
