Abstract

The registration of accidents and injuries in primary health care is inadequate. One of the reasons for this inadequacy is most certainly lack of enthusiasm although lack of to-the-point registration methods is just as much to blame. We have used an automatic accident registration mode in the PC programme Profdoc. This accident registration programme is very useful and time cost-effective. In Os municipality, where the registration took place in 1996, the results have proved to be very helpful in accident prevention. Nevertheless, the programme still needs EDB-knowledgeable doctors, to collect the data. In the near future it will hopefully be possible to feed the raw material to a server, which would then organize the data. This would provide general practitioners with a completed report in exchange for raw material.
