A pilot study performed on a group of patients with coronary heart disease has disclosed the simplicity of computer application of charting, recording, daily reporting and statistical analysis of clinical data. It has indicated that both physicians and paramedical personnel may make better use of their time by utilizing a computer to perform their daily bookkeeping routines. This report illustrates the requirements and application of a simple computer system to a specific problem of clinical investigation and gives guidelines for the expansion of its use in other areas of medical interest.
