[Computers in general practice of the established gynecologist: market status--electronic data processing solutions--electronic data processing problems--future perspectives].

Since the end of the seventies a great change of edp-use in gynecological private practice took place. Many applications (for example ICD-coding) are not feasible in short time. In medicine, the electronic data processing is not as practicable as the technical progress permits. In only a few programs we can find gynecological specific electronic data processing solutions, networks between private practices, hospitals and Internet access. It is necessary to claim edp-solutions for gynecological private practice and define standards for programming electronic data processing in medicine.
