[Medico-psychological base and trend documentation in a residential facility for rehabilitation of the handicapped].

The article presents the system for medical-psychological base and trend documentation developed between 1977 and 1980 at Rotenburger Anstalten der Inneren Mission (Home Mission). A practicable system from the user angle, it is operated on a mediumsized data processing unit. Being a pure dialogue system with programme generators, it is easy to handle and flexible in its possible applications, several of which are illustrated by examples from the rehabilitative field. As the various characteristics used can easily be attributed with other contents, and as the data base can moreover be expanded, the documentation system could also be used by comparable facilities that have the necessary electronic data processing equipment at their disposal.
