interactivedatabase management (IDM) is a data editing software that provides complete data editing at the time of initial data entry when information is 'fresh at hand'. Under the new interactive system, initial data recording is subjected to instant data editing by the interactive computer software logic. data are immediately entered in final form to the database and are available for analysis. IDM continuously checks all variables for acceptability, completeness, and consistency. IDM does not allow form duplication. Many functions including backups have been automated. The interactive system can export the database to other systems. The software has been implemented for two Department of Veterans Affairs Cooperative Studies (CCSHS #5 and CSP #385) which collect data for 1400 and 1000 variables, respectively at 28 VA medical centers. IDM is extremely user friendly and simple to operate. Researchers with no computer background can be trained quickly and easily to use the system. IDM is deployed on notebook microcomputers making it portable for use anywhere in the hospital setting.

A new interactivedata base management system for surgical pathology is described which was developed by modification of the previously reported system for autopsy records. As the name implies, it serves as a personal memorandum. Always led by the computer, it is easy to write and read, whenever necessary, without knowledge of programming or data format. The outstanding features are its flexibility of operation and the on-line availability of simple statistical data on some items (diagnoses, topography, histology, age and sex) in response to the specification of search condition so that it provides an opportunity to expand association of ideas during the process of diagnosis and serves as a diagnostic support system. The climps has been successfully tested with over 770 surgical pathology records. some problems to be expected in the future are discussed.

An on-line system for the computer-assisted management of pathology data, calledPADAMS (Pathology datamanagement System), was developed to construct a data base and to gam direct access to the up-to-date information in daily practice. It utilizes the time-sharing system (TSS) of FACOM M-190 and is operable from a terminal in the pathology department. By prompting data input the system leads the user to register cases and to form interrogations for data retrieval. Pathological and anatomical terms are automatically coded according to SNOP and decoded during output. In the absence of the term in the dictionary, the code is requested and filed so that the vocabulary is increased stepwise during operation of PADAMS. Additional subroutines can be called to read and to correct the dictionary. PADAMS was successfully tested on 100 samples of record. Further data are now being accumulated in the file.
