[A practical clinical record system for the general practitioner].

Owing to the multidisciplinary character of general practice, there is a great need for an effective and practical clinical record system for the family physician. The recording of clinical data of home visits and other visits places an extra burden on his record system. A practical system which tries to solve these and other problems is presented. A simplified form of Weed's Problem Orientated Medical Records (POMR) is incorporated in this system. The different components as well as the practical functioning of the system are described.
