Computer-Assisted Reporting System for the Follow-up of Patients with Cardiac Pacemakers.

The implantation of large numbers of permanent cardiac pacemakers carries with it the responsibility for continual reassessment of all aspects of patient management. Experience with more than 4,000 pacemaker implants and replacements since 1963 has led to the development of a comprehensive computer-...

      ab: The implantation of large numbers of permanent cardiac pacemakers carries with it the responsibility for continual reassessment of all aspects of patient management. Experience with more than 4,000 pacemaker implants and replacements since 1963 has led to the development of a comprehensive computer-assisted data collection, management, and reporting system for the follow-up of patients with cardiac pacemakers. Over a seven-year period, data forms have been developed for the detailed documentation of pre-operative, intra-operative and follow-up information. These were designed in the form of checklists suitable for direct computer entry using mark-sense document readers. Special emphasis has been placed on pre-operative indications, selection of appropriate pacing systems, reliable follow-up methodology, and monitoring the performance of various pulse-generators. This system makes possible the rapid computer production of hospital records and reports to involved physicians and con be used to schedule follow-up assessments as required. The information also can be used for hospital statistics, billing, research, and pacemaker registration at the provincial, state or federal level. Experience has shown that a computer-assisted methodology is the only practical means of providing adequate follow-up for a large group of patients. In addition, direct access to relevant information helps to create an environment in which essential research can be carried out in the face of demanding clinical practice.
