TI  - Operationalizing a bedside pen entry notebook clinical database system in 
      consultation-liaison psychiatry.
PG  - 165-72
AB  - No current system of computerized data entry of clinical information in 
      consultation-liaison (C-L) psychiatry has been well received or has demonstrated 
      that it saves the consultant's time. The inability to achieve accurate, complete, 
      systematic collection of discrete variables and data entry in the harried C-L 
      setting is a major impediment to the advancement of the subspecialty and health 
      services research. The hand-held Notebook computer with Windows PEN ENTRY 
      MICROCARES capabilities has permitted one-time direct entry of data at the time 
      of collection at the patient's bedside. Variable choice and selection enhances 
      the completeness and accuracy of data collection. For example, ICD-9, Axis III 
      diagnoses may be selected from a "look-up" which at the same time automatically 
      assigns the appropriate code and diagnostic-related groups, (DRG) number. A 
      patient narrative can be typed at the nurse's station, a chart note printed for 
      the medical record, and the MICRO-CARES literature database perused with the 
      printing of selected citations, abstracts, and in some cases experts' 
      commentaries for the consultee. The consultant's documentation time is halved 
      using the NOTEBOOK WINDOWS PEN ENTRY MICRO-CARES software, with the advantage of 
      more accurate and complete data description than with the traditional handwritten 
      consultation records. Consultees preferred typewritten in contrast to handwritten 
      notes. The cost of the hardware (about $2000) is less than that of an optical 
      scanner, and it permits report generation and archival searches at the nurses' 
      station without returning to the C-L office for scanning. Radio frequency or 
      ethernet download from the Notebook permits direct data transfer to th C-L office 
      archive computer.
