Creating Personal Information Files

Pages 15-26 | Published online: 26 Oct 2008
 

Abstract

The body of literature discussing the need for personal information files as well as the variety of methods employed to manage reprint files is enormous. With the advent of the microcomputer many manual card systems are being transferred to microcomputers. Many health professionals who formerly avoided developing manual card systems are exploring the usefulness of personal information files using microcomputers. The wide variety of computer software available today poses interesting challenges to health professionals having no prior experience with personal files and/or computer software programs. This article reviews six commercially available software packages which are suitable for creating computerized personal information files. Every attempt has been made not to endorse a specific brand of software.
