Abstract
In recent years some data-management needs in Cardiology Departments seem to find effective software-based solutions. Nevertheless solutions often remain independent of each other. The clinical community is still waiting for more comprehensive proposals, in such a way to make really convenient the use of medical software in everyday practice. One possible solution is to consider performances separately as well as gaining additional marginal value from their integration into a single multiple-service package. A time oriented DBMS to manage medical records for follow-up of cardiological patients and a drug handbook, including adverse drug interactions and dosage information on cardiovascular and related drugs, have been considered basic performances able to provide additional benefits to users because of their integration. The prototype of such software is described in this chapter. The software runs on standard, even portable, IBM compatible PCs. Evaluations about its degree of acceptance by the clinical community are still to be made.
