Doing away with paper. Part 2--Starting up your new system.

BACKGROUND: After choosing the best computer hardware and software to use, the next major step is to carefully plan how to implement the change from using paper based medical records to electronic medical records. OBJECTIVE: To examine ways to make it relatively easy for staff and doctors to implement the change to electronic medical records. DISCUSSION: Changing from writing medical records on paper to typing to enter the same information into a computer is a major issue for many doctors, especially for older practitioners. Practice staff may lack the confidence to use computers to make appointments and issue accounts or receipts. This paper describes ways to make the changeover in a gentle and relatively easy way. Other issues briefly mentioned include ways to handle incoming correspondence and reports on paper, using the Internet, and clinical photography with digital cameras.

[The first Croatian medical dictionary of Dr. Ivan Dezman (on the 125th anniversary of publication)].

The year 1868 marked the publication of the first "Dictionary of Medical Terms" in the Croatian language, the work of the physician and writer Ivan Dezman (1841-1873) and one of the first professional dictionaries to appear in Croatia. In composing the dictionary Dezman made use of all the general Croatian language dictionaries which were available at the time, of the vernacular idioms as well as of the new words he coined himself. Although the dictionary was modest by volume, it comprised definitions for 3247 entries, its great value lied in the fact that is strongly influenced both the medical writing and future work on medical nomenclature.

Writing a scientific paper.

There are many varieties of medical writing. This paper suggests a sound, practical approach for writing up a research project in the conventional format for a medical or scientific journal. The structure of a scientific paper is well established, to accommodate the "Why" of the project (the Introduction), the "Who, when, where and how" (the Methods) and the "What" (the Results). The Discussion (the "So what") should be in three parts--discussion and explanation of results, disputation, and disquisition (implications for practice and for future work). Guidelines are given for getting started and for producing a paper that will, hopefully, be published and read.

Taking a medical history in childhood illness: representations of parents in pediatric texts since 1850.

The pediatric clinical encounter is initiated when a sick child is presented to a physician and the physician takes a history from the parent. This article casts the physician's construction of that encounter in a central role in the history of the theory and practice of children's medicine. The focus is on what physicians have written about the conduct of such encounters, and specifically on their attitudes to and instructions for the taking of a history. This analysis reveals that medical writings on the taking of a medical history provide a window into how pediatric writers wanted their discipline to be conducted, what they identified as the normative principles of pediatric practice, and how they portrayed parents. The texts show a striking continuity in the ambivalence expressed by practitioner authors about the parental role in the clinical assessment of sick children. What emerges is both a regret that the physician must be dependent on parental history for clinical assessment, and a message that any doctor dealing with children should both value the parental history and distrust it. Because history taking is a fundamental, core medical activity, these normative principles and representations of parents were dispersed easily, widely, and unconsciously within pediatric practice. They also provide a link to the wider contexts of physicians' involvement in child rearing, the influence of psychiatry, and the fundamental gender structure of the clinical encounter.
