Design of an information support system for determining the health care communities

MASARU YAMAMOTO and MASATO SANOT Department of Systems Engineering, Nagoya Institute of Technology, Gokiso-cho, Showa-ku, Nagoya 466, Japan t Aichi Medical Association, 4-14-28, Sakae, Naka-ku, Nagoya 460, Japan

Medical administration rules in Japan require each prefecture to plan its own program of community health care. One of the most important aspects in planning community health care is to determine the geographical regions in each prefecture so that health care communities can be established. The purpose, structure and procedure for setting up health care communities is described, together with an information support system for determining the regions. As a case study, the procedure for and results of health care communities in Aichi prefecture are studied.

Application of MUMPS for the management of diabetic patients on a lap-top computer

MASAFUMI MATSUDA and TOSHIO KANEKO The Third Department of Internal Medicine, Yamaguchi University School of Medicine, 1144 Kogushi, Ube, Yamaguchi 755, Japan

(Received February 20, 1988; accepted April 8, 1988)

(Keywords: Computerized medical records, L a p t o p personal computer, Chronic disorder, Diabetic patients)

A computerized patient data storage and retrieval system was developed for patients with diabetes, using MUMPS (Massachusetts General Hospital Utility Multi-programming System) run on a lap-top personal computer (NEC PC-98LT). This system enables clinical physicians to achieve better management of diabetic patients in out-patient departments. Data items for input were selected from those of the Diabetes Center at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (Sydney, Australia). This

system provides not only computerized prescription writing, but also a graphic display of time courses of the available data on a patient. The increasing importance of an electro-medical recording system like this is emphasized for the management of diabetic patients.

Development of a monitoring system for pollution by anaesthetics

JUNYA SAKAI and MITSURU OHYAMA Surgical Center, Kagoshima University Hospital, 1208-1, Usuki-cho, Kagoshima City 890, Japan

(Received March 24, 1988; accepted April 1 7 , 1988)

(Keywords : Anaesthetic pollution, Pollution control, Monitoring system, Infrared spectrum analyzer, Personal computer)

A monitoring system is described for detecting pollution by anaesthetics with a personal computer. This anaesthetic pollution monitoring system (APMS) consists of a sampling control section with sequential circuits and some control values, a monitoring circuit for the infrared spectrum analyzer, and a personal computer for processing the sampling data.

The anaesthetic pollution density in the environment can be fed back to a computer terminal in the operating room by a local area network. This system can be used to check the correct maintenance of anaesthetic apparatus, the correct application of anaesthesia techniques, and for training to minimize anaesthetic pollution.

Consultation system for multiphasic health testing that applies knowledge engineering techniques in MUMPS

KYOHEI HAYASHI Department of Preventive Medicine, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Hirokoji, Kawaramachi, Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto City 602, Japan

(Received March 5 , 1987; accepted M a y 14, 1988)

Keywords : Consultation system, Multiphasic health testing, Artificial intelligence, Knowledge base, M U M P S

Although the diagnostic logic used in multiphasic health testing is much simpler than that in general clinical practice, it does involve examining a vast amount of information at one time, this data being mostly within normal limits and similar for each patient. It is consequently quite difficult to discriminate the pathognomonic
