Registration
-
Since
1997,
patient
registration
is
performed
on a
computer
network
covering
the
whole
department.
-
The
software
used is
PATS
(Patient
Analysis
and
Tracking
System)
from
Dendrite
Systems
Inc.

The

published
by the
EACTS is
used for
registration.
-
We
have

IT
engineer

ensure
smooth
running
of the
network
and the
program.

Patient

transferred
from the
ICU
until
his
operative

PATS
system

printed
and
