The Gießen Tumor Documentation System (GTDS) – Review and Perspectives

Altmann¹,

2006

“…Currently, tumor documentation in the participating hospitals is done with the help of various application systems. The minimum data set is gathered (partly) in the central tumor documentation system of the tumor center, which is called KRAZTUR [19]. [6] with the aim to record and endorse the objectives of the documentation system.…”

On the Necessity of Systematically Planning Clinical Tumor Documentation

Tumor documentation is an important task for both clinical research and patient care. Documentation systems for these purposes have to be planned systematically and should be goal oriented. We applied the method of a so-called ‘standardized documentation protocol’ for systematically planning two documentation systems in oncology: one for the tumor center Heidelberg/Mannheim and the other for a nationwide project in the field of documentation and therapy planning in pediatric oncology. The method proved to be helpful in both cases even though the resulting documentation protocols are completely different and although they served different objectives. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to motivate and help medical informatics professionals to systematically plan other documentation systems using this method.

“…3. The tumor registry database is stored in the same computer as the system KRAZTUR [12,13]. This allows for a data exchange between the DSS and the tumor registry data.…”

Setting up a Decision Support System with Decision Tables

et al. 1989

Abstract:The aim of our study was to develop a decision support system using a conventional method which can be used as a shell for different applications. So it was necessary to find a method which allows separation of decision principles and decision algorithms. In addition, documentation of the patient records should be simplified. This could be attained by using the decision table technique and the programming language MUMPS.The general system developed was applied to the therapy decision for patients with liver metastases. The application system was clinically evaluated in a randomized group of patients. In 84% of the study group the therapy proposal of the system concurred with the therapy actually applied.Representation of knowledge in the form of tables is easily understandable by physicians. Since decision tables can be seen as a medium of communication between physician and system manager, knowledge acquisition is simplified.
