[The programmed medical report in surgery].

Our experience in programs for semi-automatic medical reports developed and used in the course of the last 4 years was as follows: 9 programs for inpatients and 3 for outpatients have been developed. Programs for semi-automatic medical reports have proved especially advantageous in frequent diseases (as for example appendicitis, cholelithiasis) and in managing large special consulting hours for outpatients with predominantly similar diseases. Due to rational and cheap work the use of semi-automatic medical reports in a certain range shows an alternative to the conventional ways of writing from dictation.
