Some of the early pioneers of community health promotion in Norway were clergymen. One of these "potato priests", as they often are referred to, was the Rev. Niels G.A. Dahl (1778-1852) in Gulen, a poor rural district in western Norway. In a spirit of paternalism he engaged in many non-religious activities promoting the lives and health of his congregation. He engaged in vaccination, medical treatment, control of infectious diseases and provision for the poor, hired a midwife, struggled hard against heavy liquor drinking among locals and promoted primary education. This article highlights Dahl's contributions to community health promotion. Effective community health promotion depends on local knowledge, as well as local authority, influence and personal engagement. Maybe a dose of the paternalistic spirit is called for also in today's health promotion?

We describe a locally developed system for partial computer storage of medical data, called the mini-medical record system. The system produces a typed face sheet prior to each patient visit. The face sheet, which also serves as a progress note, contains patient demographic data, medical problem lists, previous vital signs, allergies, medication profile, and health maintenance reminders. Between regularly scheduled visits, all computerized data are available by computer printout for unscheduled visits to walk-in clinics and the emergency department. Structured reports are generated by the system that describes each resident and faculty members' practice. Quality assurance reports are also available. Since the system draws from several already existing databases, new data entry requirements are modest and cost to the institution is low. Partially computerized systems can be developed inexpensively and are well received in multispecialty practices, where interphysician communication is vital.
