The procedures of documentation of diagnostic findings are well established--but different in their graphical and structural appearance of patients histories. Out of multiple findings a retrieval with valid informations is very clumsy. In order to increase quality a complete and reliable registration of clinical data base is necessary. For this purpose the use of electronic media is profitable if the requirements of the data-base are well defined. A nationwide agreement on one key-system--including the transformation of textual structures--is proposed. Only this way leads to comparable results in therapeutic procedures.
