PEN&PAD: A Multi-Lingual Patient Care Workstation based on a Unified Representation of the Medical Record and Medical Terminology

  • Conference paper
Medical Informatics Europe 1991

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Medical Informatics ((LNMED,volume 45))

Abstract

PEN&PAD is prototype patient care workstation developed using a process of user centred design. Our goal is a radically improved human computer environment for doctors and other clinicians which will be useful and usable in routine patient care. PEN&PAD is a complete clinical record system based on the ideas described elsewhere in this conference [1]. It uses a unified knowledge based representation of the medical record and medical terminology, Structured Meta Knowledge (SMK) [2].
