Identification of patient subpopulations for retrospective clinical studies, documentation of residents' clinical experience, and other administrative purposes can be difficult and time consuming. The problem of identification is exacerbated when a teaching program involves several hospitals or when the desired subpopulation is not adequately defined by standard diagnosis or procedure codes used by the institution. A useful patient registry system is reported here for the storage and retrieval of data on orthopedic patients treated by surgical residents at a major teaching hospital and its affiliates. The registry uses a simple, yet powerful encoding scheme to describe patient entries. In addition to a multidimensional encoded description based on SNOMED, the system supports the entry of free text to provide greater detail. This combination gives the patient registry both power and versatility.
