My apologies if this information is redundant, 
but in reading the many discussions about question-
answering, data assemblage and individual doctor's 
responses to enquiries, it appears that most of us
lack the informational tools to address the problems 
discussed. It is hoped that the following offering might
have some appropriate cures for the various problems. 
Karl Dockray.

An offer of software to any student, teacher or research-
er of integrated, computed learning and work applications 
that can record, store, message and analyze/count any 
value, observation or transaction now put on paper. 
Look for the title STAT*WRITER to download at 
http://www.med-ed-online.org/rsoftware.htm

OVERVIEW: Any word processor can make a brief
note but STAT*WRITER (and its commercial version
DOCU*MENTOR) integrates five critical information 
functions to make powerful list-makers that can
record lectures, group didactic subjects and provide
decision supports that can then make functional
electronic patient records. 

Any fact now put on paper can be recorded, transmitted 
automatically and then analyzed within seconds to min-
utes. The applications are proven to be faster then any 
extant program at recovering data to help failing human 
memory, the replication of pre-recorded work templates, 
forms and the analysis of "warehoused" information to 
define learning effectiveness, care quality and case outcomes. 

STAT*WRITER'S processing speed comes because it 
runs without moused cursors and does not require 
conventional file-names to manipulate recorded data. 
Find any electronic document among hundreds of thou-
sands of others by entering four search letters and 
pressing ENTER.

STAT*WRITER's built-in extensions can be filled with 
information to serve either learning students or practi-
cing physicians with decision supports, guides to the 
pursuit of evidence-based medicine or as simple 
reminders for failing human memories. 

MORE....

STAT*WRITER can serve as a learning/teaching/practice 
ware because it can record, message, and manage any 
kind of information that is now put on paper with print. 
It is a "generically-designed does-anything" ware that 
can run in lap tops, single desk units or local and wide-
area networks.

The application's integrated functions have been in contin-
uous development and testing since 1984. If the techniques 
are of interest, e-mail/call KT Dockray at [log in to unmask]
COM or 1 806 763 5775 for a  6 pp reprint titled "Differing 
Ideas About Softwares for Medicine and Management". 

The article sketches how five critical informatic processes 
were integrated to make a general information utility. Strat-
egies are listed how the applications might be used to equip 
students with the ability to record lecture notes in their own 
machines and then use the data to make electronic medical 
records.

Some discussion is directed to how educators might put 
reliable structure into their teaching and provide students 
with objective data elements that can be used to track what 
has been learned and how the learnings were applied to 
practice.

The conclusions in the reprint are that students of 
medicine, nursing and/or administration/management 
can machine-record their teachings, electrically-
capture their earliest experiences as clinical appren-
tices and then carry their electronic learnings into 
real-world practice. 

As above, a version of the utilities can be downloaded 
from Medical Education On-Line at http://www.med-ed-
online.org/rsoftware.htm. Expect six MGB of  DOS code 
that is WIN 3.1, '95, '98, WIN2000-NT and Y2K compatible.
