[The information system of the Deutsche Klinik für Diagnostik (author's transl)].

Data processing in medicine includes the administration, patient control and medical documentation. The introduction must be made step by step, lead to selective editing of information and promote the standardization process through the application of electronic data processing. Data acquisition can be done automatically by activating the computer or feeding from the information flow. Patient-linked information, including clear text, can be inverted, i. e. edited for retrieval by automatic description in a diagnosis orientated form.
