    Abstract

    The Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine (DACCM) has substantially upgraded its computer resources within the past two years by installing a local area network (LAN) and replacing low-end PC's with PC's utilizing Intel 80286 or 80386 microprocessor technology. Data base development has now become a priority. Data bases are being developed for both clinical and administrative purposes. We are replacing the traditional method of "keypunching" with optical card scanners which results in faster and more accurate data entry directly into the data bases. Previously, such card scanners have been confined to large organizations. We describe a method of data capture and data base development with wide applicability in medicine.
