Protocol treatments supported by a computer system

对于复杂的治疗来说，常规治疗是可取的。为了经得起科学的批评，需要进行前瞻性研究来评估治疗的效果。因此，该方案对患者和医生都是可取的。但方案治疗的复杂性逐年增加。医生很难毫无困难地准确执行方案治疗。因此，创建了一个计算机系统来支持决策。在彩色显示器上显示临床检查结果和药物的趋势图，以掌握临床病程。当应该进行额外的临床检查、何时应该修改药物以及当患者有可能退出协议治疗时，医生的建议和警告也会出现在显示屏上。还准备了计算机程序来评估治疗效果和预测患者的生存状况。九州大学医院正在使用一种基于计算机的癌症登记方法，作为综合医院信息系统的一部分。这种方法不需要人力进行数据收集，数据库包含了世界卫生组织推荐的癌症登记的几乎所有核心数据和一半的可选数据。

Protocol treatments are desirable for a sophisticated therapy. For standing the acientific criticism, a prospective study is required to evaluate the effect of the treatment. Thus, the protocol treatment is desirable for both patients and physicians. But the comlexity of the protocol treatment increases from year by year. It is hard for physicians to exactly perform the protocol treatment without any difficulty. Therefore a computer system is created to support the decision making. Trendgraphs of clinical examination results and medications are displayed on a color display for grasping the clinical course. Advices and warnings forphysicians are also appeared on the display when an additional clinical examintion should be done, when medications should be modified and when a patient has possibility of drop-out from the protocol treatment. Computer programs are also prepared to evaluate the effect of the treatment and to ecpect patient's survival couve.A computer-based method for cancer registration isin use at Kyushu University Hospital as part of the integrated hospital information system. This method needs no manpower for data gathering, and the database includes almost all the core data and half of optional data recommended for cancer registration by the WHO.
