Abstract
The concept of PASK (Patient follow-up System of Kyushu University Hospital) has been innovated in order to manage clinical data of patients in the hospital-wide scope over long periods of time by using computers. PASK represents a collection of subsystems, each tuned to a specific disease. For the initial implementation, the subsystem for stomach cancer (STOMAC) was constructed according to the Cancer Center of Kyushu University Hospital project. STOMAC began to work in October 1984 and has proved effective. Using STOMAC, doctors in a clinical section can easily access patient data gained in another section. Besides providing a data reference function, STOMAC automatically gives alarms for abnormalities in clinical examination results, anti-tumor drug dosage, visitation cycles of patients, etc. The database and STOMAC programs are strongly standardized and easily applicable to another specific disease.
