pubmed:abstractText
This presentation reports the experience of the surgical house staff and registrars at Middlesbrough General Hospital who used a desk-top computer system to support their clinical diagnosis of acute abdominal pain. The results cover a two year period and are compared with a baseline period of one year. Substantial benefits followed the introduction of the computer-aided diagnostic support system; increased diagnostic accuracy of the whole surgical team, reduction in negative laparotomy rates, earlier surgical intervention for acute appendicitis, reduction in the number of cases of perforated appendicitis and more efficient use of resources. The reasons for these improvements include more thorough collection of data, use of common terminology and an educational element provided by detailed feedback from the computer system.
