Abstract

The field of Colon and Rectal Surgery has a rich history which has significantly evolved over the years. Although the training requirements have changed dramatically, the interest of research over new technics continues to soar. The rising popularity of the field is reflected in the increasing number of fellowship programs as well as the greater number of practicing Colon and Rectal Surgeons. Over the past years the number of medical registries over various diseases has increased sharply. Their value strongly depends on the quality of the data contained in the registry. Several developments in healthcare, such as progress in information technology and increasing demands for accountability, have led to an increase in the number of specialized medical registries. To optimize data quality we define a medical registry as a systematic collection of a clearly defined set of health data for patients that performed colon and rectal surgeries, held in a central database for use in research, i.e. for analysis. The medical registry can serve different purposes. For instance, as a tool to monitor and improve quality of care or as a resource for surgical research. Two examples is the ITP patients Registry supported by the Hellenic Society of Hematology and International Bariatric Registry (IBARTM) accordingly. Data in a medical registry ought to be valid and easily manipulated in order to be valid and of use. To optimize the quality of medical registry data, participating centers should follow certain procedures designed to minimize inaccurate and incomplete data. Our proposed registry supports the simultaneous recording of incidents via typing, importing medical examinations results( i.e. MRIs and radiographys) and asychronous or sychronous import of clinical measurements, monitored by patient monitors, designed to match the pace and unique needs of adult intensive care; anesthesia and pre-operative care; and cardiac care environments. The development has been taken place at the Information Systems Unit Center of Information and Communications Technologies of University of Crete (MiSUoc/CICT) in cooperation with the Surgical Clinic of the Venizelio General Hospital of Heraklion.
