To investigate a method of assessing the extent of routine patient data held on computer by Scottish general practitioners.
An "electronic questionnaire" in the form of an interrogation questionnaire was used to extract a subset of data from practice computers running a standard software package (the general practice administrative system for Scotland, GPASS). The data were retained by each practice and also collected and analysed centrally to produce regional and national data.
All 257 general practices in Scotland using GPASS software were sent the electronic questionnaire; data from 154 practices, including 759 general practitioners and covering 1,010,452 patients, were collected.
Ninety three practices had all their patient records on computer; others had selectively entered data on, for example, only those patients receiving repeat prescriptions. The number of computerised patient records per practitioner ranged from 46 to 2373. Altogether 194,261 patients had repeat prescribing data and 204,005 morbidity or clinical data.
An electronic questionnaire is a simple and effective way of investigating the information held on practice computers, allowing analysis and feedback of information to practitioners. Development of this system will provide a cumulative information system for Scottish general practitioners.
研究一种评估苏格兰全科医生计算机中常规患者数据规模的方法。
采用以询问问卷形式呈现的“电子问卷”，从运行标准软件包（苏格兰全科医疗管理系统，GPASS）的诊所计算机中提取一部分数据。各诊所保留这些数据，同时也进行集中收集和分析，以生成地区和全国性数据。
向苏格兰所有使用GPASS软件的257家全科诊所发送了电子问卷；收集了来自154家诊所的数据，包括759名全科医生以及1,010,452名患者的信息。
93家诊所将其所有患者记录都录入了计算机；其他诊所则有选择地录入数据，例如仅录入那些接受重复处方的患者的数据。每位医生录入计算机的患者记录数量从46条到2373条不等。总共有194,261名患者有重复处方数据，204,005名患者有发病率或临床数据。
电子问卷是一种调查诊所计算机中所存信息的简单有效方法，能实现对信息的分析并向从业者提供反馈。该系统的开发将为苏格兰全科医生提供一个累积信息系统。
