Summary— Modern technology offers new opportunities for the storage and manipulation of hospital information. A computer‐based system for urology and nephrology has been designed and developed in this centre. It uses a program that allows the analysis of unrestricted non‐codified texts and the operation by hospital staff who have had no more than minimal computer training. The potential of such a system is outlined and a comparison is made with other existing systems. Future prospects and potential lines of development are presented.
