A research project was undertaken to design an electronic medical record system which will cater for the specific needs of South African general practitioners and their unique requirements. The project was launched by sending out a questionnaire to general practitioners in the Free State, trying to determine their specific requirements and to gain insight into their attitudes and opinions regarding the use of computers, especially the computer-based patient record, in a general practice setting. The results indicated that there was a need to replace the current manual patient record with an electronic version, and that the attitudes of the general practitioners in South Africa were generally favourable regarding implementing and using such a system. Given these results, we can proceed to design a computer-based patient record system, specifically addressing the needs and requirements of the South African general practitioner.
开展了一个研究项目，旨在设计一个电子病历系统，以满足南非全科医生的特定需求及其独特要求。该项目通过向自由邦的全科医生发放调查问卷启动，试图确定他们的具体需求，并深入了解他们 在全科医疗环境中对使用计算机，尤其是基于计算机的患者记录的态度和看法。结果表明，有必要用电子版本取代当前的手工患者记录，而且南非全科医生对实施和使用这样一个系统的态度总体上是积极的。鉴于这些结果，我们可以着手设计一个基于计算机的患者记录系统，专门满足南非全科医生的需求和要求。
