This paper describes the design and application of a clinical information system (CIS) in a tertiary care facility (Kuwait Center for Cancer Control) using low-cost microcomputers (personal computers). The facility focuses on the collection and use of clinical information for prospective application in clinical trials, individual therapy and research. In order to meet this requirement the patient treatment and follow-up system (PTFS) was developed, based on recent database management technology. The exercise demonstrates that low-cost microcomputer systems can be used effectively in meeting the clinical management information and research needs of care facilities. It is anticipated that the application of the system will be replicated on other health care facilities.
本文描述了一个临床信息系统（CIS）在一家三级护理机构（科威特癌症控制中心）的设计与应用，该系统使用低成本微型计算机（个人电脑）。该机构专注于临床信息的收集与使用，以便在临床试验、个体化治疗及研究中进行前瞻性应用。为满足这一需求，基于最新的数据库管理技术开发了患者治疗与随访系统（PTFS）。这项实践表明，低成本微型计算机系统能够有效地用于满足护理机构的临床管理信息及研究需求。预计该系统的应用将在其他医疗保健机构得到推广。
