Abstract
The availability of commercially offered powerful electronic patient d ata management systems gives us the chance to reach the goal of a comp lete electronical patient record. Describing the implementation of suc h a system (Hewlett-Packard CareVue 9000) on an ICU for surgical and a naesthesiological patients we report about the expense spent in time a nd personnel and the difficulties we encounted, Results of a survey, w hich has been evaluated after a test period, are presented, At least 2 4 % of the employees were against a complete implementation of a PDMS, We discuss the results and make suggestions for a better way of imple mentation.
