[Programmed complex for automated prophylactic check-ups of chronic outpatients. Communication 1. Tasks and fundamentals].

The authors present the fundamentals of making outpatient computer case histories for prophylactic check-ups of chronic outpatients with ocular diseases. They validate the necessity of creating mononosological versions of computer histories which should not only describe the underlying diseases in detail, but reflect any concomitant ocular disease as well. The basic criteria formulated by the authors helped create a computer history of a modulus type, which may be easily mastered by physicians within just 2-3 hours and be adapted to research of this or that patient population. The authors emphasize the importance of creating and wide use of software in everyday practical medicine.
