Secure and protected network connection between medical and external networks.
Internal and world-wide communication, access to medical databases, and information services are essential demands in the science of medicine not only for research, but also for improving patient care. A network connection between the medical network of the Erlangen University Hospital and other international networks was examined as a concept within the scope of a Erlangen Hospital Communication System (EKKS) project and tested with an actual installation.

Year 2000 contingency planning.
The clock is ticking. The year 2000 is just a few short months away, and hospitals have very little time to finish their Y2K preparations. With this in mind, we present this article--derived in part from ECRI's Special Report, Five Minutes to Midnight: Practical Y2K Contingency Plans for Healthcare Facilities--to help hospitals develop, refine, and implement sound, practicable contingency plans given the existing time constraints. Unlike the Special Report, which addresses all aspects of developing and implementing facilitywide contingency plans, this article focuses on departmental contingency planning needs related specifically to medical devices and systems. Department managers and others responsible for parts of the contingency planning process can use this article as a resource when reviewing and refining aspects of their plans, as well as when educating staff about the contingency planning process and about what will be expected of them in the coming months. In addition, although planning efforts should by now be well under way, departments that are still in the preliminary stages of developing a plan will find useful information to help them prepare for the year 2000.

[Computer-assisted prospective wound infection monitoring. 1: Ideas and principles].
The prospective recording of nosocomial infections can be regarded as a quality control measure whereby exact data collection and analysis will improve recognition of the individual aspects of hygiene deficiency in the hospital and thus reduce the incidence of nosocomial infections. Wound infections will be recorded on the basis of the CDC definitions for nosocomial infections (1988) and according to three categories of cleanliness for all operations: aseptic, contaminated, infected. A computer program is recommended for data collection and exact analysis--if possible, combined with an internal hospital communication system.
Use this proven system for disaster communications.
The Hospital Emergency Incident Command System (HEICS) system uses a logical management structure, defined responsibilities, and clear reporting channels to help the hospital communicate with outside emergency responders. The system is considered a benchmark for EDs to implement as an integral part of your disaster plan. Flow charts and job action sheets are used to clearly define responsibilities of individuals. The system uses the same terminology as other first responders, so communication is easier.
[Criteria for the system selection in medicine (author's transl)].
The selection of an electronic data processing system for use in the medical field is in many cases complicated by the fact that the tasks have not yet been defined accurately in detail. Therefore, the technical system planning may only be carried out on the basis of an organization study which, among other things, is to provide bases for answering questions about the structure of this system, about the places where subsystems should operate in the hospital, and about the individual levels of implementation. When selecting the system, the criteria to be taken into consideration include the technical efficiency, organizational range of application, reliability, assistance by the manufacturer and, last but not least, the cost - bearing in mind that, in the medical field, the weights may be placed quite differently from the commercial field. With this planning consideration should also be given to the possibilities of utilization not basing on a system of one's own.
Enhancing clinical and management discourse in ICT (information and communication technology) implementation.
Modern NHS organisations are seen to be increasingly reliant, in terms of achieving improvements and service targets, on the efficient provision of information to enable clinical, administrative and managerial decision making A key barrier to effective ICT introduction in NHS trust hospitals has been identified as the complex social, organisational and political issues endemic within the organisation, preventing true discourse amongst key stakeholders. This paper describes how the adaptation of critical social theoretical thinking may be used to develop an innovative approach to participative process and information flow modeling. This approach is used within a hospital trust to investigate its potential as a precursor to ICT procurement and development. Empirical results of the research are described with suggestions for a more informed approach to ICT introduction, leading to a re-examination of issues concerning: historical context, emancipatory practice and the role of the systems analyst.
